Summer in Enchantia by Darcey Bussell Read Free Book Online

be thinking she was upset about the ballet ending.
    “There’ll be other ballets for us to be in,” Olivia told her. “And other fun things will happen.”
    Rosa smiled. “It’s OK. I know. One adventure has got to end before another one can start.” She thought back to everything she had learned in Enchantia and twirled round. “But right now, this one is still going on and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it!”
    When the music started that signalled theirentrance, Rosa and Olivia ran onstage. The other girls came on from the opposite entrance and they met in the middle. Shim Chung and the Sea Dragon King were sitting on thrones. The music slowed and Rosa and the others began to perform the lullaby dance.

    Sway to the right and left, right and left, arms out, floating through the water …
    The music swelled around her and Rosa stopped thinking about the steps. She just danced, swept away by the music, lost in the moment.
    As the dance ended, the girls stopped, perfectly balanced, feet in third position, fingertips touching. Joy swept over Rosa. It had gone brilliantly! The audience clapped loudly. Rosa beamed around at the audience, dazzled by the moment. And then as the music changed, feeling as if she were sparkling with happiness, Rosa danced off the stage with the others, heading for her next adventure.
