In this contemporary retelling of the fairy tale "Twelve Dancing Princesses," an African-American reverend in Harlem endeavors to discover why the shoes of his twelve sons are worn to pieces every morning.

Sassy is a long-legged girl who always has something to say. She wants to be a ballerina more than anything, but she worries that her too-large feet, too-long legs, and even her big mouth will keep her from her dream. When a famous director comes to visit her class, Sassy does her best to get his attention with her high jumps and bright leotard. Her first attempts are definitely not appreciated, but with Sassy's persistence, she just might be able to win him over. Dancing in the Wings is loosely based on actress/choreographer Debbie Allen's own experiences as a young dancer.

Sassy worries that her too-large feet, too-long legs, and even her big mouth will keep her from her dream of becoming a star ballerina. So for now she's just dancing in the wings, watching from behind the curtain, and hoping that one day it will be her turn to shimmer in the spotlight. When the director of an important dance festival comes to audition her class, Sassy's first attempts to get his attention are, well, a little wobbly. But Sassy just knows, somehow, that this is her time to step out from those wings, and make her mark on the world. Actress/choreographer Debbie Allen and Kadir Nelson collaborated on Brothers of the Knight, about which School Library Journal raved, "the strutting high-stepping brothers are full of individuality, attitude, and movement."

MATURE CONTENT 18+ advisementThey called me "Dare To Ride Anything" though my real name is Brad Drummond but I answered to Dare also. And I did dare to ride anything till I met Nightmare. An undefeated bucking bull on the rodeo circuit. I've won many buckles in my time, had buckle bunnies by the dozen and enjoyed every second of both. But those 3 seconds on Nightmare's back brought everything to a screeching halt when he fucked me up bad.After I spent months in the hospital and more months in therapy and rehabilitation I was told I'd be better off hanging up my spurs and not riding in rodeo again. I was so busted up I still couldn't ride a horse a year later so I bought a ranch to raise rodeo stock. That's how I met Jenna, at the rodeo.I'm Jenna Brockett and I raise Friesian and Gypsy Vanner horses for dressage and rodeo half time shows. Midnight Silk, or Boomer as I call him, is my best and favorite horse, a black Friesian stallion. I wasn't a buckle bunny and I didn't compete in any events, I just provided the break that everyone needed in the middle of the action. I first saw Brad (I didn't like calling him Dare all the time) when he came to the barn after the rodeo when it was open house for the attendees. Of course my first sight of him was frozen in place as my 3 pit bulls were verbally telling him to keep away. They'd never hurt him, but they didn't know who he was. He was shocked out of his frozen state when a young child flew in to see the "horsies" and the dogs flew at him. I could see in his face that he thought they were going to tear the kid apart, and they were, with their tongues. Little did I know that after that, the whirlwind known as Brad (Dare To Ride Anything) Drummond was going to become very much a part of my life.
