What happens when cowboys meet ballet? Something extraordinary. This vivacious, spirited picture book tells the true story of Agnes de Mille — the legendary choreographer behind Oklahoma! and Carousel — whose love of cowboys and rodeos transformed the history of Broadway dance forever.
"Something new is about to happen, something extraordinary."
In a dusty California town, Agnes dreams of becoming a dancer. She gallops to New York, then London, combining old steps with new — until one summer at a rodeo, the cowboys' powerful, unbridled movements change everything.
