synopsis
Follows the hopes and dreams of a tight-knit group of young dance students as they try to make a name for themselves and become stars in the fiercely competitive world of professional dance. Vibrant and supremely gifted, they are students who devote themselves to their art, sacrificing ordinary pleasures of life to train with the rigor of Olympic athletes.

Featuring a diverse musical palette--from Tchaikovsky to Jamiroquai--the story traces these fresh-faced talented friends as they strive to take their place on center stage.
