on her count

Ariana Grande knows exactly what she wants.

A world tour. A stage she can call her own. And six new dancers who bring something worth watching.

She isn't looking for perfect.

She's looking for people who can make a mistake and keep dancing.

She just doesn't know how important that distinction is going to become.

Y/N Y/L/N has been dancing since she was two years old.

At five, her parents moved their family from Guyana to America after realizing just how much talent their daughter had.

Since then, Y/N has done what she does best.

Excel.

Straight A's. Singing. Acting. Dancing.

So when her teacher tells her Ariana Grande is holding open auditions and that she's good enough to make it, there's really only one acceptable outcome.

She has to make it.

***

Six open spots.

One audition is all it takes for Y/N to earn one of them.

Suddenly, she's travelling the world with Ariana Grande-her boss, her friend, and eventually, something much more.

But somewhere between rehearsals, tour stops, crowded arenas, and falling in love, Y/N forgets the reason she started dancing in the first place.

Because when being the best has always made everyone proud, making a mistake starts to feel a lot like letting everyone down.

And when Y/N refuses to stop pushing herself, Ariana might be the only person stubborn enough to make her.

Y/N has spent her whole life dancing on count.

Now she has to learn when to stop counting.
