Granny Does Ballet
From sashays to pirouettes, it’s never too late to try something new!
Jemima was bored by ballet. Her granny wasn’t.
Jemima is sick of sashays and thinks plies are passé. But when Granny joins her ballet class, Jemima finally begins to feel the joy in her toes.
As their recital nears, Granny’s nerves grow. Now it’s Jemima’s turn to inspire as she helps Granny overcome her fear of performing!
