Dance Divas: Step It Up

Dance Divas #4

by Sheryl Berk

Trouble is brewing between the divas just before their big upcoming Dance Fusion competition. Liberty is stepping on Rochelle's toes (figuratively and literally!). Anya and Bria can't agree on costumes for their duet. And Scarlett and Gracie are bickering over what to name their new kitten (Scarlett wants "Baryshnikov" but Gracie likes "Mustard"). Miss Toni is mad, mad, mad—but she has an idea to fix the problem: a camping retreat, where these girls will have to learn the true meaning of teamwork or be left out in the dark.

I love this book, but I got kind of scared when Miss Toni said they have to go camping. Sheesh that lady is creepy sometimes

[Marilyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the 4th book in the Dance Diva series. The dancers in Miss Toni’s dance studio compete against their arch rivals and completely fall… literally and as a team. This fast realistic story explores sibling rivalry, various dance moves, jealousy and attitude problems. When challenged to work together as a team, the dancers learn each others’ true value. In the camping experience we see the girl issues played out. There is much to be learned about dependence on others and caring for others in the book. I recommend this for readers of early chapter books.
