Ballet Friends #2 Join the Club

Bianca wants to take her friends to San Francisco - to go backstage and meet the San Francisco Ballet! And it just might happen! Bianca just got a special delivery from San Francisco full of trolley schedules, tickets to the ballet, and ultra-exclusive backstage passes. But there’s a catch, this amazing backstage experience is only open to groups ages eleven and up, and they must represent an official organization or club.

So Bianca, who lives for ballet, has a terrific idea to start a Ballet Club at school. That’s sure to count! But it’s a big job for the five girls. They’ll need a club advisor, permission from the principal, and of course enough members to sign up. And club president Bianca has big plans for Ballet Club besides the most amazing field trip ever – she plans to bring in guest speakers who are professional dancers, and even wants to create a club officer called the Vice President of Ballet Buns.

But what happens when the girls’ other activities compete with the new Ballet Club? There’s the Basketball team for Jessie, Drama Club for Megan, and Orchestra for Lexi. Pretty soon the ballet friends are pulled apart by their other interests. Will they succeed in setting up their Ballet Club? And what about their field trip to San Francisco? Can they start their club in time?
