"This
story written for 'Tweens' is so good that it will transcend that age
group. The story plot seems deceptively simple, but it unfurls with
complexity. And Jenny is a character you can take into your heart. One
that is vulnerable and shackled by her shyness, but who struggles to
stay close to the thing she loves most...any way she can. Overcoming
pride, guilt, and inadequacy, she moves painstakingly toward her goal.
This is my first read by author Glen C. Strathy and I highly recommend
his style and voice. His ability to get inside the head and heart of his
young subject, Jenny, is a spark of pure talent, with just a sprinkle
of magical insight. BE SURE TO PUT THIS ONE ON YOUR CHILD'S READING
SHELF." - Lynda Coker, Review from Here

Summary:
Sidelined by a paralyzing anxiety, a twelve-year-old girl uses
determination and friendship to pursue her dream of becoming a ballet
dancer in this uplifting middle-grade novel.

"An excellent
story for the young girl reader. The story is about ballet and what it
means to love to dance, friendship, rivalry - a big part in any dance
class - and doing what you love..."-- awolfe at LibraryThing

"Wow
what an amazing book ! I love anything to do with Ballet but this book
went beyond that. I loved Jenny and could really relate to her but her
friend Ara was the amazing one in this book too who supported her friend
and helped her to overcome obstacles. Can't give to much info here or
it will spoil it for others. All I can say is this is a book that most
people should read!"
- Jane(Janelba) on Goodreads


"Dancing on the Inside is a fine and very much recommended read for younger readers who may be facing stage fright themselves."
