Rosanna had magic in her legs. She had learnt ballet dancing ever since she was 6. It was always her dream to become the world’s finest dancer and yes famous too! How dainty she would look when she would wear those cute little Pointe shoes and that lovely pristine white classical Tutu skirt! There would not be a single day when she would miss her practice.
Rosanna’s best friend was Svetlana who stayed next door. It was almost as if they had grown up together. More than just friends they were true soul sisters. Svetlana was also into ballet dancing and actually speaking, both these girls were a huge competitor to each other.
It was just week before that Rosanna had celebrated her 18th birthday and was anxious as she would be stepping in to adulthood. After a regular ballet session, Ms. Wilma Whyte, the ballet mistress waited to announce the names of the two lucky students who would be performing at the prestigious International Ballet Competition held at Bolshoi. This competition would be held once in four years and getting selected to perform on such a huge stage was once in a lifetime event!
The class dropped into complete silence and the moment of truth had arrived. She proudly called out the names of Svetlana and Carlos. While they could not believe their ears, and couldn’t stop themselves from thanking the ballet mistress, for Rosanna the world had come to a standstill. Her heart broke into a thousand pieces; all her dreams were shattered in a second. She was spellbound and returned home all alone.
In a second, Rosanna’s beautiful world had turned into a dark nightmare! She started distancing herself from everyone and especially her friend Svetlana. The once, generous and kind Rosanna had turned into a different leaf – full of greed, sloth, envy and wrath. She felt so desperate of missing that one chance to be at the centrestage of the world. She could not tolerate that her friend had been selected but not her. She started plotting ideas so that she could somehow stop Svetlana from performing at Bolshoi.
One a Sunday afternoon, Rosanna invited Svetlana over for brunch and tried to poison her. But, as fortune would have it another way, a little cat got poisoned instead! Svetlana learnt about her best friend’s cruel intentions and got cautious. She also tried to be away from her and refused to heed to all her concerns.
Rosanna just didn’t want to give up. She went to Svetlana’s home and pretended to be kind and asked her to forgive her. Just then, at her home, in Svetlana’s room, Rosanna found a personal diary written by Svetlana. She immediately grabbed it and stole it. Again back home, she started reading it. Tears started rolling down her eyes for she realized that the diary contained numerous memories of the time both of them had spent. She rose and decided not to succumb to any more evil desires against her dear friend.
The very next day at the ballet class, Rosanna decided to ignore all the damage that has been done and decided to work hard and put in her best effort. She fastened her Pointe shoes and geared herself up. The ballet mistress noticed this and encouraged her to practice more. Ms. Whyte being a perfectionist never said a “good job” to Rosanna ever; reason – she always believed that there are no two words in the English language more harmful than “good job”. She didn’t want Rosanna to become complacent.
Each day at practice, Rosanna put in her very best. Svetlana also extended her full support and confidence to her. On one such day, while practicing the allegro, she experienced severe injury to her ankle. She cried in immense pain, but did not want to give up. She rose, gathered herself and continued dancing. Every member of the class could feel the excruciating pain that Rosanna suffered.
Days passed and she recovered quickly. With each passing day, Rosanna learnt the fine art of doing a graceful Grande Jeté, Pirouette and Arabesque. Gradually, but eventually she became the most loved and adored ballerina of the entire class. The younger kids would look up to her for her outstanding performance.

In the meanwhile, Carlos who was supposed to join Svetlana for the prestigious event was found drowned into drugs. The Ballet mistress admonished his behavior and decided to cancel his ballet competition participation. She already had a clear participant in her mind to replace Carlos; none other than Rosanna. She was finally able to make her dream come true; not by cheating or by using cruel or dangerous methods, but by sheer hard work, trust and friendship.  They now start to rehearse to perform a Pas de deux at the International Ballet Competition.
