Dancing to America

Anton Pankevich loves to dance. As a small child in Russia, he dreamed of being a ballet dancer & began training there. Now, years later, his dreams are becoming a reality. At 16, he is still dancing -- but in a new country. He is a student at the prestigious School of Amer. Ballet in NYC. Like the many immigrants who have come to the U.S. seeking freedom & a better way of life, Anton & his family left Russia a few years ago to begin life in America. So many things in America are different: the language, the customs & attitudes, his school -- even dancing! This book chronicles Anton's growth & perseverance, his commitment to his art, & how he meets the challenges he faces in his adopted land.
