Gloria's Promise: A Ballet Dancer's First Step

Gloria has a very big dream: to be admitted to the summer program at the American Ballet Theatre. The day of the audition arrives, and Gloria couldn’t be more excited! She can’t wait to dance and show the world what she can do. In the ABT studios, she gets a peek into a glorious room filled with pointe shoes, ballet dancers getting fitted for tutus, and an awe-inspiring company rehearsal. She can barely believe her eyes!

During the audition, Gloria is determined to make an impression by pushing herself to be her best. But when she falls in front of the teacher, she wonders if her determination will be enough. Robin Preiss Glasser, the bestselling illustrator of the internationally renowned Fancy Nancy series, brings exquisite and authentic details to every illustration as only a former professional ballet soloist can do. This story about a determined dancer who is working hard to achieve her dream is sure to thrill ballet students everywhere.

Description

"A teacher demonstrates the required steps, which Gloria follows carefully, but everything stops when she falls. She tearfully asks to try again and this time performs well. But she is worried about the outcome and waits impatiently for that all-important letter.... Young readers are privy to Gloria’s thoughts as they follow her through the entire process and will admire her spirit and root for her all the way." — Kirkus Reviews
