Now she needs it more than ever as she tries to navigate the unpredictable world of older boys -- specifically Kevin, Sasha's older brother -- and learn the difference between love and lust.When her friendship with Sasha goes on the rocks, her relationship with Kevin goes too far, and her mother reveals a shocking truth, Natalie finds strength in her dancing. Will it be enough? And what will happen when a new teacher introduces her to the world of modern dance--will she find the confidence to take it on?

Dance is fifteen-year old Natalie's life. All of her friends dance. There is very little time for boys or friends who don't dance. It is her therapy. Danced helped her through her parents' divorce, her father's move halfway across the family and his decision to start a new family , one that doesn't include her. Now, in her new status as an adult, Natalie is struggling. She is getting attention from her best friend Sasha''s older brother. But that is not allowed if her relationship with Sasha is to endure.
