Chapter 1 (ROMANIA)

Once upon a time,there was a girl. Her name was Lucy and she lived in London with her parents and brother, whose name was James. London was her favourite city.She travelled with her parents but she always returned home with a smile, thinking of the great places that the city had to offer. She also had two pets ; a dog called Lucky, the dog was grey with some small spots and he loved to hake his pawsand a cat called Tania,which had long whiskers.

Lucy was a dancer. She had been dancing since she was a little girl. Her father had taken her to ballet classes because he was a dancer too. He had won some awards a long time ago and he liked to brag about his prizes.

Lucy was in the 10th grade now and she had a boyfriend who was a street dancer. She had met him when she had given up ballet in order to take up street dancing. She had done it because ballet hadn’t been her choice in the first place. She liked to take classes but she didn’t find herself in this kind of dance,while street dancing was a better way to express her feelings. Her parents did not approve of her boyfriend because they looked down on street dancing.

Chapter 2 (TURKEY)

One day, her father called her and said to her:

- Lucia , my dear daughter you cannot be a street dancer. I always hoped to watch you as ‘Odette’ in ‘Swan Lake’ one day. You cannot be a street dancer. I won’t put up with it.( He was getting angry).

Lucy said awkwardly:

- Daddy, I want to live as a street dancer for the rest of my life.

Her father :

- No, never! If you insist on your idea for this subject, I will have to punish you and not let you leave your room. Get out of my sight!!!!!

Lucy was desperately sorry. She went to her room and started to cry. She called her boy friend Mete who was a handsome,self confident,strong-willed Turkish boy.

Mete was the same age as Lucy. He was a good street dancer and he could play the guitar as well. Mete told her:

- We as young teenagers can make our decisions. Street dance is our indispensable,our life philosophy. Let’s live together in the streets freely, dance and sing a song.

This offer attracted Lucy at first glance. She cleaned her face ,took her backpack ; put some clothes and took her wallet. She decided ,she would live on the street with Mete by singing and dancing whatever and wherever they wanted.

Chapter 3(POLAND)

After a big argument with her father Lucy left home. She and Mete went straight down the street. They didn’t have money so they had to find a place to live. They stayed in the suburbs of London in an old shed. To collect money, they started dancing in the street.

They danced a mixture of street dance and ballet. Many people passed by them, some of them stopped to watch and gave them some money to support them financially. One day a famous choreographer, Alex Cross went for a walk and he saw them dancing in the street . He was impressed so he approached them and started a conversation with them. He offered them a job in his dance group. His group performed street dance, hip hop and breakdance.

Alex invited Lucy and Mate to have dinner with all his group in a restaurant. He talked about a „Dance Battle „ in Liverpool on 26th of June . Dance Battle was a kind of contest for both amateurs and professionals . The competition was held once a year. Lucy and Mete decided to take part in it.

This relationship between Lucy and Mete was bad , they argued a lot . They had to face a difficult situation , they lacked money and they had no place to live. One day they went for a walk. Suddenly, they saw a boy spraying graffiti on the wall. He had the same face as Mete. He was even more handsome than Mete. He was tall and had blue eyes. Lucy liked him. It appeared that he was Mete’s twin brother- Mike. Soon the situation complicated even more then before.
