Now, the pair confront the biggest challenge of all—an audition for the prestigious Ballet Association School of New York City. The path to the spotlight requires them to work harder than ever before, compelling them to make difficult decisions. The pull toward New York stretches Lara further from her parents, while Summer must weigh her commitment to dance against the possibility of love.
