Le Pitch

Doone Penny est un enfant doué pour la danse. Malgré le talent que les autres reconnaissent en lui, sa famille ne l'encourage guère. Sa mère se pavane avec sa jolie sœur Crystal, également danseuse, mais féroce, compétitive et vaniteuse. Son père n'autoriserait jamais un de ses fils à prendre des cours de ballet, et ses frères le considèrent comme un efféminé. Mais Doone a une passion et une ambition au-delà de son âge, et il sait qu'il peut réussir, s'il lui est seulement donné une chance. S'il parvient à entrer à Queen's Chase, l'école de ballet junior de Sa Majesté, il montrera à tous de quoi il est capable. Afficher moinsAfficher plus
