About this title

From the Back Cover:

Amelia Bedelia is signed up for dance classes at Dana's School of Dance, and she is not happy about it!

Amelia Bedelia loves to dance for fun and make up her own crazy steps, but ballet is boring! It only takes a few minutes for her to realize, though, that Dana's School of Dance is anything but boring. Amelia Bedelia discovers:

1. Tap shoes can be just like drums.
2. Salsa is more than a dip for a chip.
3. A flamingo is a bird. Flamenco is a kind of dance.
4. A ballet bun is not a hamburger bun. Or a bagel.

Can Amelia Bedelia and her classmates take all they have learned about dance and put on a recital to bring down the house?
