Overview
All Dillon wants is to be a real dancer. And if he wins a summer scholarship at Dance-Splosion, heās on his way. The problem? His dad wants him to play football. And Dillonās freestyle crew, the Dizzee Freekz, says that dance studios are for sellouts. His friends want Dillon to kill it at the auditionāso he can turn around and tell the studio just how wrong their rules and creativity-strangling ways are.
At first, Dillonās willing to go along with his crewās plan, even convincing one of the snobbiest girls at school to work with him on his technique. But as Dillonās dancing improves, he wonders: what if studios arenāt the enemy? And what if he actually has a shot at winning the scholarship?
Dillonās life is about to get crazy . . . on and off the dance floor in this kid-friendly humorous debut by Brooks Benjamin.

āA rollicking, big-hearted breakdance of a book. Itās a story about friendship thatās got all the moves: humor both sly and slapstick, a diverse cast of characters, and a winning narrator whoās trying to learn how to follow his heart, find the beat, and dance his pants right off.ā āKate Hattemer, author of The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy
