Driven by a bittersweet desire to connect with her deceased father’s legacy, a strategically-minded high schooler orchestrates an unlikely transformation – not of her academic standing, but of her entire persona – to infiltrate the competitive world of collegiate dance. This isn’t a story of innate talent blossoming, but of rigorous, hilarious, and ultimately empowering self-invention as she leads a group of equally unconventional peers, navigating awkward rehearsals and unexpected romantic connections. The film playfully subverts the typical underdog sports narrative, focusing less on winning and more on the joyful audacity of attempting the impossible and the genuine bonds forged through shared vulnerability and relentless practice, offering a comforting and upbeat exploration of grief, ambition, and embracing unexpected paths.
