SynopsisIn the 1950's, seventeen-year old Harry Potter moves to Greenwich Village, NY to pursue a career as a ballet dancer. Professionally, he finds a place as a chorus dancer at the old Metropolitan Opera house and becomes a member of the "Sex Squad" --those chorus dancers well built enough to carry off the skimpy costumes in" Aida." Personally, he quickly becomes the focul point in a tempestuous, complicated love triangle with two of his fellow dancers. Torn between passion and his true love--dancing--Harry must come to a decision about whom he loves, who he is, and what he is willing to sacrifice for the world of ballet.
