The authors of the stories “Time is Always Good”, “I Want to Go to School”, “The True Story of Santa Claus” and many others, long and deeply loved by everyone - adults, children, librarians, teachers and the jury of literary awards - have written a new book. In it, Andrei Zhvalevsky and Evgenia Pasternak take the reader by the hand and lead them away from school... Where? What do high school students do after school? Lots of things, for example, dancing. The plot of each chapter quickly revolves around one of the students of the ballroom dance studio. Each of them has something to worry about, from unrequited love and problems with parents to finding their place in life. But in the finale, the personal problems of the heroes give way to a common misfortune: the fate of their coach, a tough man, but wholeheartedly devoted to his work, is under threat. Some errors will be corrected, and some will not - an open ending will not solve all problems and will not provide ready-made answers to the main questions. But the heroes of this story will come out of it as different people—and the reader, most likely, too.
