Billy the Kid has conquered Nashville's music scene with his band, but dancing terrifies him. When his group lands a spot opening for Dolly Parton's Doggy Dance Pawty, Billy faces his biggest fear. He drags his bandmates to dance class, where he spots Bella, a graceful instructor with auburn curls and a sweet voice. Billy wants to impress her, but he keeps stumbling over his own paws. Every lesson becomes a battle between his stage fright and his growing crush. As the performance date approaches, Billy must master the choreography while figuring out how to win Bella's heart. The third book in Dolly Parton's series follows the lovable French bulldog as he discovers that some risks are worth taking, even when your paws won't cooperate.
