Dance enthusiast Ruby Rose can't help herself: she has to dance. When she starts school, she's shocked to learn that "there's no time to dance." She's so shocked she knocks over the classroom ant farm, which gets everyone twisting and stomping. The story, laced with lots of dance lingo, tries too hard, but the friendly digital illustrations are as lively as Ruby Rose.
