Aisha will have to find the strength within herself-and place her trust in others-to make her next move..
There\'s no choreography to follow-for high school or for healing.
And as past traumas surface, pressure from friends and family, a new romance, and questions about her dance career threaten to overwhelm her.
But she soon discovers racism and bullying are entrenched in the ballet program here, too, and there\'s a new, troubling distance between her and Neil.
Switching to her best friend Neil\'s art school seems like the perfect plan at first.
So When she\'s denied yet another lead at her elite academy because she doesn\'t look the part, she knows something has to change-the constant discrimination is harming her mental health.
Ballet is Aisha\'s life.
