M. Jonathon dirige sa propre école de danse depuis 8 ans et se sent au quotidien investi d'une mission envers ses jeunes élèves. La danse n'est pas seulement un sport ou une simple distraction, c'est aussi un moyen de délivrer un message, d'éveiller les consciences à travers les pas qu'il inculque, quitte à passer pour un excentrique. Oser est son credo. Melle Elisabeth, sa principale concurrente, est de la vieille école. Elle enseigne la discipline, la rigueur aux jeunes filles qui fréquentent son Académie de danse. Un gramme de trop ou un port de tête trop relâché pourrait bien ruiner leur chance de remporter la plus importante compétition de danse d'Australie.
