The Turning Pointe | Vanessa L. Torres

1 post | 1 read | 4 to read

A bold and emotionally gripping novel about a teenage Latinx girl finding freedom through dance and breaking expectations in 1980s Minnesota. When sixteen-year-old Rosa Dominguez pirouettes, she is poetry in pointe shoes. And as the daughter of a tyrant ballet Master, Rosa seems destined to become the star principal dancer of her studio. But Rosa would do anything for one hour in the dance studio upstairs where Prince, the Purple One himself, is in the house. After her father announces their upcoming auditions for a concert with Prince, Rosa is more determined than ever to succeed. Then Nikki--the cross-dressing, funky boy who works in the dance shop--leaps into her life. Weighed down by family expectations, Rosa is at a crossroads, desperate to escape so she can show everyone what she can do when freed of her pointe shoes. Now is her chance to break away from a life in tulle, grooving to that unmistakable Minneapolis sound reverberating through every bone in her body.

The Turning Pointe | Vanessa L. Torres

Rosa is a student at a ballet academy, where her father is ballet master. She‘s obsessed with Prince, who happens to be training upstairs for a performance. And the ballet students get a chance to audition for the very concert that Prince is headlining.

I loved Rosa and following along with her struggles as she tries to figure out her own path. This was an incredible debut. Loved all the 80s vibes and all the diverse characters.

Megabooks Is this based on Misty Copland? She used to do ballet with Prince. 2y
