2012: Dance Stars
Dawn Nelson has always wanted to be a dancer. She always danced to release her stress, or when she was mad, sad or just plain bored. The sad part was, Dawn never believed that her dancing was never good and thought she would never become what her dream was, so she never followed them. Instead, she continued school, helped out at home with her 3 brothers, 2 other sisters and her parents, and did all she could to be there for her loved ones.
On Monday May 7, a camera crew for her favorite show, Dance Stars, shows up and asks her to join the show. Dance Stars is where dancers compete on live television for the ultimate prize at the end. Through out the show the competitors will be kept in a house and recorded for a reality t.v show as well. Of course Dawn would say yes, but does she really want to go?
Follow Dawn in her journey through the language of dance as she gets through tough times.
