When Manish, a hip-hop dancer, accidentally walks into a ballet class in Mumbai, his world opens up and a passion is born. His tough ballet master recognizes his talent and dares him to fulfill his dreams of dancing professionally – giving him the courage to defy family, culture and poverty. Manish devotes himself to an art form that is virtually unknown in India and struggles to prove to his family that he can beat the odds and make it as a world-class professional dancer.
