Biff does not see himself as a dog but as a ballerina, and now is his chance to follow his dreams despite the way others might see him. Dogs Don’t Do Ballet is an important story celebrating the freedom to express individuality and pursue dreams despite the prejudice others may impose. Let’s all be a little kinder, the story gently implores, and allow ourselves and others to excel at whatever we love to do the most.
