Summary
"In 1980s Minnesota, when auditions for a concert with Prince are announced, 16-year-old Rosa Dominguez, the daughter of a tyrant ballet master, is desperate to escape her pointe shoes and show everyone what she can do"--
As the daughter of a tyrant ballet master, Rosa Dominguez seems destined to become the star principal dancer of her studio. But Rosa would do anything for one hour in the dance studio upstairs where Prince, the Purple One himself, is in the house. After her father announces their upcoming auditions for a concert with Prince, Rosa is more determined than ever to succeed. When Nikki-- the cross-dressing boy who works in the dance shop-- leaps into her life, Rosa is at a crossroads. Can she show everyone what she can do when freed of her pointe shoes? -- adapted from jacket
