Rebecca loved to dance. She dreamed of performing on a grand stage, with velvet curtains and beautiful costumes, in front of a real audience.

The dance studio was her favorite place to be-until the day her teacher told her she would dance the lead part in their upcoming recital of 'The Sleeping Beauty.'

This was wonderful, terrible news! Wonderful, because it meant that her teacher thought she was a good dancer. Terrible, because it meant she would have to dance alone, by herself, on a big stage-which Rebecca found utterly terrifying.

Now she must decide what to do. Will Rebecca allow her fear to take over and throw away her dream? Or will she find the courage within herself to make that dream come true?
