What is Ballerinas Are Beautiful about?

At ballet class, Izzy, Di and Zoe are eager to dance, but each girl faces a different challenge. Izzy keeps mixing up her left and right, Di feels too shy to perform in front of everyone, and Zoe cannot stop boasting about her skills. As they practise steps, encourage one another and prepare for their big performance, the three friends discover that dancing is more fun together. They learn that kindness, courage and friendship matter far more than being the best.
