Meer over het boek

Set in 1940s New York City, the story follows Millie and Pedro, who come from different cultural backgrounds but share a passion for dance. Their worlds collide as the vibrant sounds of Latin jazz emerge, blending jazz and Latin rhythms, thanks to Machito and His Afro-Cubans. The Palladium Ballroom becomes a symbol of unity, challenging segregation by welcoming all dancers. Illustrated with energy and featuring real-life figures, the narrative highlights music and dance as powerful forces that can break down racial and ethnic barriers.
