1/1/2021 Adorable. Full review tk at TheFrumiousConsortium.net.
1/7/2021 It took me a while to get into the flow of this volume, but once I was there, I was all in!
The Dance Class series revolves around three French girls -- Alia, Julie and Lucie -- who take the same dance class, as well as their families, friends, love interests and rivals. In this volume, Alia is exploring her budding new relationship with Evan, while Julie is trying to break up with her own boyfriend. When all three girls are given the opportunity to fly to Spain for flamenco classes, they leap at the opportunity, embracing adventures and hijinks along the way.
It's rather slender as far as plot goes, but it's incredibly dense with lovely details and insight into the life of three dance-obsessed teenage girls. I loved that the girls weren't cookie cutouts and that they had distinct personalities to go with their different looks, even if you don't necessarily find out as much about their backgrounds as you might like here. Tho with ten previous volumes to go through, there's definitely a wealth of material to be had already! As this was my first exposure to the series, I'm thoroughly thrilled to discover that there's more available for me to read, and as immediately as I'd like to!
Part of the reason it took me a while to get into the book tho, is that the authors are uninterested in catching you up to speed, which is fine. The narration of this book tends, like a webcomic, to read as a complete entry per page, so if you're unfamiliar with the series, it can feel pretty disjointed as we switch between the perspectives of not only our main characters but also their supporting cast. Once I started figuring out who was who, which happened roundabout the time the story started feeling more like it had a plot than was constituted merely of a series of cute anecdotes, I was completely sucked in.
But also I am a sucker for dance stories, and I really loved following these dance-mad girls as they navigated a world that is usually much less into the art form than they are. Julie's irrepressible younger sister was one highlight of this book, as were Julie and Alia's very tired parents. I also need to give a special shoutout to Crip's note perfect art! Full of emotion and movement, it was that perfect balance of beautiful and cute that makes this comic perfect for both dancers and readers of all ages. I can't wait to read more of these books, translated from the French by Joe Johnson.

Een heerlijk en leuk deel in deze serie! Dit keer gaat een groepje meiden naar Spanje om daar de speciale dansen te leren, wat weer leidt tot heerlijk situaties inclusief romantiek. Ook zijn er nog meer romantische stukjes (al had die jongen echt sneller moeten zoenen, haha, ach een origineel liedje voor je eerste kus), en heerlijk veel leuke dansen. Ik was blij dat de gemene meid eindelijk haar portie karma kreeg. XD Ik had soms wel medelijden met de ouders. De tiener snapt nog dat haar ouders haar niet continue hoeven te zien dansen.. haar kleine zusje blijft maar optreden.
Ik kan niet wachten op deel 13 (ja, ik heb 12 al gelezen).

I think this book to me in fourth grade as a dance who was dancing at their level and made perfect sense to me. Now being 12 and going back and reading the series again I see that this book really hurt the image of myself I had. I was already not eating enough but this book kind of fueled my thoughts of this is normal nobody eats enough who looks like me.
First of all there is this girl Lucy and basically the ongoing joke is that she is fat. She is not even fat she is a normal beautiful body type just not as rail thin as the other girls.among other concerns I have with this series this is the one that stood out the most to me.

Entertaining, for sure, and a fast read, but there's not a whole lot to the story. Every half page to one page was pretty much a new spot - new character, or scene, or both, without much explanation, and no warning. It was kind of jarring at first, but by the end, you kind of get used to it. Still, not much of a story line, but it would be more fun if there was. I did like some of the characters and some of the things that happened, I just wanted more detail and more to the story overall.
Note: I received this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways.

I received an electronic ARC from Papercutz.
Readers will return to the dance world these character love. This time a trip to Spain to learn flamenco dancing shows the serious and humorous sides of their personalities. The character expressions are terrific. Readers can follow the action just by watching their faces and body language. Dance motion leaps off the page as they attend classes, perform and simply dance through life.
