She just wants to dance. But the spotlight only fits one.
Lila and Maya are best friends who love ballet more than anything in the world. They twirl together, laugh together, and dream together. But when their beloved teacher Miss Tutu announces there is only one starring role in the spring recital, something changes. Lila practices until her feet ache. Maya spins until she cannot stop. The joy of dancing - the thing they loved most - slowly fades into silence, sharp elbows, and broken hearts.
