Discover how two best friends get into the groove at their first school disco . . . with just a little help from a sparkling diva! As soon as Dylan walks into his first school disco with his friend Daisy, his feet start to tap and he feels incredible. Soon he's shimmying and shaking on the dance floor. He's having a fantastic time until he realises that everyone has stopped to look at him. Dylan is embarrassed and his toe-tapping boogie suddenly stops. High above, the disco ball is watching. Not wanting Dylan's confidence to be dampened, the disco ball shines and sparkles especially brightly. Someone else's feet start tapping too-it's Daisy! With a little encouragement from her, Dylan returns to the dance floor.

Their boogieing is contagious-soon all their classmates are on the dance floor too in this empowering story about dance, over-coming self-consciousness and letting it all go from the author of The Dress in the Window!
