Description: Ever since her grandparents gave her a DVD of Swan Lake, twelve-year old Jenny Spark has wanted to be a dancer. But on her first day of ballet class, she suffers a pancic attack and makes a horrifying discovery. She's terrified of dancing in front of the other kids, let alone actually performing for an audience. Yet Jenny refuses to give up her dream. She finds ways to observe ballet classes without actually participating, and she trains in the safety of her room. Then Jenny meets her exact opposite: Aṙa Reyes, an outgoing, spontaneous, and accident-prone girl who loves dancing but has always been overlooked. The girls' friendship blossoms as they help each other uncover their real talents.
