โฆ Synopsis
A Black teen dancer with dreams of landing a spot in a prestigious ballet company must learn to dance on her own terms in this explosive debut about the healing power of art and friendship, perfect for fans of Heartstopper and Tiny Pretty Things.
Ballet is Aishaโs life. So when sheโs denied yet another lead at her elite academy because she doesnโt โlookโ the part, she knows something has to changeโthe constant discrimination is harming her mental health. Switching to her best friend Neilโs art school seems like the perfect plan at first. But she soon discovers racism and bullying are entrenched in the ballet program here, too, and thereโs a new, troubling distance between her and Neil. And as past traumas surface, pressure from friends and family, a new romance, and questions about her dance career threaten to overwhelm her. Thereโs no choreography to followโfor high school or for healing. Aisha will have to find the strength within herselfโand place her trust in othersโto make her next move.
