The Fresh Beat: A Boss Family Groove

In this moving and motivating follow-up to TV personality and celeb dancer Allison Holker Boss’ instant best-seller, Keep Dancing Through, Maddox finds that a fresh cut and some family backup helps him find a new groove, all his own.

Maddox feels off beat when nothing seems to turn out right—losing on the basketball court, missed parties, spilled lemonade, an absolutely funky day.

But then Maddox changes the tune. He decides to get a first big boy haircut, helping him discover a new perspective, and a fresh new beat. And with his family grooving alongside him, there’s nothing he can’t do.
