They will always have dancing as a big part of thier life even if they arent doing it together and then the finally see nothing can come between thier friendship not even the thing they love the most.

A Good Story Of Friendship With A Dancing Background

The two most important things in Stephanie's life are dancing and her best friend, Jenny. Ever since they were little children in beginning dance class, Stephanie and Jenny have dreamed of becoming stars - together. Stephanie can't imagine a professional dance career without Jenny by her side. But now that they are teenagers, everything suddenly seems to be changing. Stephanie begins to question her abilities as Jenny moves steadily towards her goals. For the first time, Stephanie wonders if she and Jenny are really destined for the same future. And does their friendship mean as much to Jenny as it does to her? This was one of my favorite books as a young girl, and it's themes of friendship and self confidence are relevant today. I hope to see this book back in print.
