(4) 4-6 Dance Class series. Illustrated by Crip. These installments in the graphic novel series follow a group of teen dancers as they travel to St. Petersburg to perform The Nutcracker with the famous Mariinsky Theater (Russia) and then to London to audition for a holiday musical (Christmas). The humorous comic-strip vignettes are somewhat disjointed; friendship, dating, competition, and responsibility are themes throughout each volume. Review covers these Dance Class titles: A Merry Olde Christmas and To Russian, With Love.

(4) 4-6 Dance Class series. Illustrated by Crip. These graphic novels offer somewhat fractured comic strips loosely held together by the ballet class's (wacky) production of "Romeo and Juliet" and then their letting loose with African dance; the climaxes are both unexpected and humorous. The tiny cartoons of teen characters, focus on dating in the stories, and occasional innuendos are aimed at older middle-schoolers. Review covers these Dance Class titles: African Folk Dance Fever and Romeos and Juliet.
