Synopsis

Whether they're devoted dancers or in it just for fun, kids of all kinds are invited to the Shimmer and Shine studio! In this second book in a series, Indu overcomes some stage fright with the help of her ballet besties.

Indu loves learning ballet at her local community dance school, but unlike her friends, she doesn't want to be a principal dancer when she grows up. While she's a bit afraid of being on stage, dancing is still one of her favorite hobbies. When the class has the chance to see the ballet Cinderella put on professionally, Indu realizes the other way she's different--her mom can't afford the ticket. Indu figures out a way to go, but it makes her think: Aren't there other kids out there who want to learn ballet and can't? Shouldn't ballet be for everyone? From a principal dancer with the Royal Ballet and an award-winning children's author comes an engaging story of friendship, responsibility, and teamwork, with back matter explaining the various dance techniques and more. Black-and-white illustrations bring a diverse group of characters to life.
