Description
Clare has always dreamed of dancing with City Ballet Company. For ten long years, she's been taking ballet lessons, watching what she eats, giving up friends and a social life, and practicing until her feet bleed - all for the sake of that dream. Now, with the audition right around the corner, Clare must confront the reality of her chances. Talent, dedication, body shape, size - everything will influence the outcome. Her grandfather says she's already a great dancer, but does she really have what it takes? The competition is fierce, and many won't make it into the company. As Clare navigates this uncertain time, she turns to passionate and affecting poems in her own voice. On Pointe explores what it means to reach for a dream - and how dreams can change as quickly and suddenly as do our lives.
