This romantic comedy is about the dreams of youth, rebellion and ultimate fulfilment. In a bold style that pays homage to the classic Hollywood dance film of the 1940's, it tells a story of love and conflict of two young people fighting for artistic freedom against a repressive regime.

When 21-year old ballroom champion, Scott Hastings, commits the cardinal sin of dancing his own steps and not those laid down by the all-powerful Dance Federation, retribution is swift. He is dumped by his partner Liz, and his hopes of winning the Pan Pacific Grand Prix are dashed.

All seems lost when out of the shadows emerges Fran, a beginner and the ugly duckling of the dance studio run by Scott's parents. Through sheer persistence she convinces Scott to give her a change and an unlikely partnership is born.
