Bianca Best has one special wish for her birthday: to dance on stage in New York City! And with the help of her encouraging mom, this amazing dream comes true for her and her four ballet friends. When their ballet teacher announces the upcoming recital of Swan Lake, Bianca's mom surprises everyone by taking Bianca and her friends to New York City to see Swan Lake at Lincoln Center. But what the girls don't know is they'll be dancing on stage and having the time of their lives! And no trip to New York would be complete without sightseeing and a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park. Will their trip go off without a hitch, and will klutzy Kaylee trip up their big dance on stage? No matter what, Bianca's birthday at the ballet is her best one ever.
