What is Lucky break about?

Marmalade is one of the best dancers at Rockley Point, but he is also the class clown. His jokes and showboating are beginning to irritate his teachers and friends. When he takes things too far during a dance display, Marmalade falls and badly injures his ankle. Stuck in plaster, he finally understands what his dance teacher has been trying to tell him. Now he must find a way to prove that he can take his dancing—and his future—seriously.
