4-6Dance Divas series.
The Dance Divas continue to learn about teamwork and fairness. When youngest member Gracie wins a coveted Nutcracker role, her teammates respond with jealousy, insecurity, and sabotage (Pointe). The girls keep secrets from one another and lie to their competition--and face the consequences (Showstopper). Though didactic, these fifth and sixth outings explore common woes of pre-teen friendships with entertaining dance-specific details. Review covers these Dance Divas titles: On Pointe and Showstopper.
