Jada's move from Philadelphia to New Jersey is tough, but ballet at Ms. Marianne's Academy offers solace. An unexpected injury, however, jeopardizes her chance to shine in the big competition. Can Jada overcome her fears and physical setback to support her new team, or will she let them down? As she navigates new friendships and challenges, Jada must find the strength to dance through adversity. Will she triumph against the odds, or will her dreams slip away?

Jada isn’t thrilled to leave her old life in Philadelphia behind. Not only is she saying goodbye to her school and her friends, she also has to leave her dance team.

But when an injury threatens to sideline Jada before the big competition, she has to find a way to overcome her anxiety and her injury or risk letting down her new team.
