Forbidden Dance Volume 1

After a serious and discouraging injury, Aya - an accomplished ballet dancer - is inspired to dance again by the all-male COOL troupe. In fact, she's never wanted to be a part of anything more in her life. Unfortunately, COOL is an all-male company, and it appears that the only way they'll even consider her for membership is if she emerges victorious from the fiercely comptetitive National Ballet Competition ... but even if she manages to win, will they really let her join?

When a young girl loses her confidence to dance, she fears she'll never set foot on the stage again. But then she falls in lust with an all-guy avant-garde dance troupe and their leader ... and everything changes. Soon, her primary goal in life is to join the troupe and snag the guy. So what if she's missing a Y-chromosome? She's got spunk, skill, and passion - and, in the end, she hopes that love will conquer all.
