And if their new routine is good enough, they'll claw their way to the top at the Boogie Down Grand Prix in Tampa Bay. But in Clare Barron's raucous pageant of ambition and ferocity, these young dancers have more than choreography on their minds, because every plié and jeté is a step toward finding themselves, and a fight to unleash their power. With a pre-teen battle for power and perfection raging on and off stage, <em>Dance Nation</em> is a ferocious exploration of youth, ambition and self-discovery.</p><p>'insanely talented playwright Clare Barron...
