Ballet is a lifestyle, not a hobby.
Anastasia has known that since she could walk, and has never wavered from her personal regimen of hard work, sweat, and constant practice. The way she sees it, she has an all but assured victory at the United Ballet Association Youth State Finals.
Allison has spent as many hours on the balance beam as Anastasia has on the dance floor, but ballet had never really crossed her mind. Sure, she can hold a handstand on the beam for upwards of an hour, but she's never worn a tutu in her life, and she certainly can't keep a rhythm.
When Allison becomes entrenched in the ballet world, the two girls will face each other head to head in a battle for recognition, glory, and the favor of a certain young man.

He knows loving her may ruin him. But letting her go would destroy him. He's everything she can't want. And the only thing that makes her feel alive. She's the only thing he wants, but can't have.

Sophia's plans go astray when her older sister Ariel comes home from L.A. with slightly life-changing news: their mother is her plus one at the wedding. The woman abandoned Sophia at a mall when she was six. She also hasn't contacted them other than sending divorce papers to their dad. It's safe to say Ariel's welcome home isn't the warmest.
