What is Dancing in the Wings about?

Sassy dreams of becoming a ballerina, but she feels awkward because of her long legs, big feet and outspoken nature. When a famous director visits her dance class looking for performers for a summer festival, Sassy tries everything to stand out. Her bold jumps and bright leotard do not make the impression she hopes for, and the other dancers tease her. Determined not to give up, Sassy learns that being different may be exactly what helps her shine.
