New Moves

by Margaret Gurevich, Addy Rivera Sonda (Illustrator)

Overview

Gabby can't wait to branch out from jazz and try the new contemporary dance class at Ms. Marianne's Academy of Dance. She loves being able to dance just for fun, rather than for competition. But when she makes a new friend in class, her BFFs can't help feeling left out. Can Gabby figure out how to balance her new friend-and her new moves-without saying goodbye to her old ones?
