Excerpt from "The Dancer's Dream"
I remember being on center stage. A puffy, pink tutu wrapped around my tiny waist and a bun on my head. I turned rather messily, not very much technique in me yet and plied with my butt out. Other girls just like me stood on the stage with the same hopes and thoughts. We were all the stars to ourselves, and our parents of course. That was when I was four and was still full of life and happy ever afters. I was a princess then, with the whole world at my feet. That was before everything changed, before I realized there was no such thing as happy ever afters.
Meet the main character
Becca is the main character in my story. She is very shy and insecure in the beginning of the story. Throughout the story she grows mentally and becomes more happy and secure. She has long blonde hair and bright blue eyes and is very tall and skinny. She loves dancing but does not take classes because her family does not have enough money. She lives with her mom and five younger siblings.
A great book for teen girls who are interested in dance.
