Langston likes
basketball okay, but what he loves is to dance—ever since he saw
the Alvin Ailey Dance Company perform. He longs to twirl into a
pirouette, whirl into a piqué. He wants to arabesque and attitude,
grand battement and grand jeté. When he walks, the whole street is
his stage.
With his
neighborhood cheering him on, will Langston achieve his dream?
