Synopsis

Julie, Lucy, and Alia are best friends who share the same passion: dance! A new year of classes has begun and this year, in addition to their regular ballet and modern dance classes, the three girls are introduced to a new style ― African folk! While the girls enjoy their new art form, problems at home and in the classroom threaten to cause them to have to stop taking their dance classes. Can the girls balance their studies and their extracurricular activities?

About this title

About the Author:

Beka is the pseudonym for the writing team of Bertrand Escaich and Caroline Rogue. Before creating Dance Class, the duo wrote stories for numerous children's comics series in France, and created the hit series Rugbymen.

Crip is an artist with a background in applied arts. He has drawn several stories for the educational comic series All About ... and designs posters and logos for arts and music festivals.

From Booklist:

The kids in the Dance Class series get a new instructor, who teaches African dance. Now, after dealing with divorcing parents, annoying siblings, and the struggle to balance dance and school, Alia, Julie, and Lucie can let loose and enjoy the rhythm of the drums. Beka and Crip’s third collection of slice-of-dance-life comics continues to be humorously realistic about the lives of the main characters. One lightly risqué dating joke will likely go over the heads of younger readers, but late-elementary and middle-school comic fans will find much to enjoy, from the bright art to the quick pace of the stories. Grades 4-8. --Snow Wildsmith
