Synopsis

When their youth centre is threatened with Closure, six children decide to come together and put on a dance show. Each has their own reason for performing aside from saving the youth centre. Jaden (Akai) loves to dance but is forbidden to do so by his scholastically motivated parents (Javine Hylton & Ashley Walters). Ethan (Theo Stevenson) hopes to impress the girl of his dreams. Amy (Fleur Houdijk) holds a secret crush on Ethan and hopes to use this as an outlet for the emotions she has from taking care of her father, who is suffering from depression. They're helped along by Brian (Gamal Toseafa), Tim (Dominic Herman-Day), and Rebecca (Amelia Clarkson), and they all hope to manage to save the centre and make their hopes come true.
