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.

Anastasia is content in her life. She tends to stick to her routines of lazy days and secretive nights. She prefers to stick to the people she likes⏤her brother and best friend. Without much of an inclination to meet other people or make new friends, she keeps her head down at school and tolerates her brother's teammates and all the buffoonery that follows. That is until her brother's best friend makes a sudden appearance. Roman's charming and a touch too curious for his own good. He's also apart of the teammates Anastasia gets stuck with on several occasions. Roman can't stop thinking about his best friend's twin sister, and Anastasia has a knack for honestly, which includes throwing compliments to the devilishly handsome Roman. It could be a match made in heaven...if Anastasia was the romance type. Will she be willing to throw her prefect life and perfect routine off-kilter for Roman?

I've gotten used to the dead parents face. I've gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I've even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that's made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan--being around him, talking to him, thinking about him--makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That's something I haven't been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it's like to wonder--what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you're struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be...maybe...probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can't happen, can it? But kissing him...well, let's just say it's not an easy activity to forget.

You have no choice but to try your best. You meet your team, you receive your special job, and you train for two weeks. Then, all too soon, The Race begins... Will your team take home seven million dollars? Or will you die trying? - - - "Two elite teams of eighteen year olds are being formed from people around the world. Each team is made of members with different skills and different backgrounds, all extraordinarily talented. They will each be given a different set of clues that lead to one end goal: seven million dollars. The players will be hurt, tested physically and mentally, possibly even killed. This is The Race." - - - Excerpt: "Now then, I don't expect us to play a get to know you game but, I mean, if we are going to be relying on each other throughout this thing, we need to at least be friendly. How about everyone says their name, occupation, and where they're from?" There was a pause for a moment as everyone stared at this pink-haired girl with an English accent. "Alright, fine. I'll start. My name is Maybelle, I am a chef and as you should be able to tell by my accent, I am from London." "I am Aralee, I am a singer and I am from Italy! I'm so excited to meet and become friends with all of you." "I guess I'll go next," the model-like girl spoke. "My name is Naomi, I am from Egypt and I am a model." Guessed it. "I am Cami, from Canada. I'm a barista," spoke the red-haired and green-eyed girl. "Lark, Russia, musician," said the blonde. "Asia, Hong Kong, and I am a certified genius." "Oh, uh, my name is Harper. I am from the U.S. and I am a dancer."

In Every Way by Taylor_anonymous
28 parts Complete Mature
Avery has spent her entire life with a one track mind: Dance. When her training and focus finally pays off and she is accepted to one of the most prestigious dance academy's in the nation, she doesn't hesitate to leave her life back home for a chance at being the best. There's not much she wouldn't do or leave behind for the opportunity, which doesn't surprise anyone because she's been doing it since she first put on a pair of ballet shoes. School, boys, friends, family; it all became nonexistent as her number one priority, always, is her training. After she picks up and leaves to attend The Motion Dance Academy in California, she quickly realizes her time there will be a challenge. Between the hierarchy amongst peers and abuse of power from instructors there are countless personal struggles that ballerina's who train the way these girls do have to deal with day in and day out. And while Avery is able to juggle the high demands and expectations of her training at TMDA, meeting a boy is not something she saw coming. A dance-lif balance is something she doesn't know how to maintain, but after all these years, is more than willing to try... for him. Cooper, a wildly talented guitarist who plays in a band is everything she should stay away from with his tattoos, piercings, long bleached hair and that smile of his. But she quickly learns Cooper is a lot more than he appears on the outside. He is an aspiring singer-songwriter whose is struggling to break from his band and produce his own original music. Avery finds a way for them to work together in the upcoming fall showcase where she needs to stand out in her solo and he can break in to getting his songs out there for the world to hear. In Every Way is a story that dives deep into the dance industry and what it's really like to have the pressures of being a professional ballerina while intertwining original lyrics from a musician who is inspired by the girl in the pointe shoes.
