Pirouette your way into the Shimmer & Shine dance studio, where the ballet besties are ready to put on a show!


Momoka lives to dance, and learning ballet at Shimmer & Shine with all her friends is a dream come true!


So when her grandma, a world-renowned violinist who wants Momoka to follow in her footsteps, comes to visit, Momoka worries how she will break the news that she just wants to dance. She doesn't want to disappoint Grandma, but her heart belongs only to ballet.


Can the ballet besties help Momoka to embrace her dream to dance? Will a performance of The Nutcracker go to plan when she's trying to juggle it alongside violin? And will Momoka ever find the courage to show Grandma just how important ballet is to her?


A fun, inclusive and accessible series that will bring the joy of dance to young readers!
