Feel The Beat

April Dibrin a phenomenally talented yet fundamentally self-absorbed dancer desperately clawing her way toward Broadway stardom in New York City. Her lifelong ambitions come crashing down during a torrential rainstorm when she aggressively steals a taxi from an elderly woman. Upon entering her high-stakes audition, April discovers to her absolute horror that the woman she displaced is actually Ruth Zimmer, a legendary, hyper-powerful theater mogul and the primary sponsor of the show. In a frantic, clumsy attempt to explain her behavior, April accidentally knocks Ruth off the stage and directly into the orchestra pit, breaking the producer's leg. The entire disastrous incident is captured on video, going viral across social media and instantly turning April into an industry pariah whom no Broadway production will ever dare hire. Evicted from her apartment and thoroughly blacklisted, she is forced to swallow her immense pride and retreat to her quiet, unassuming hometown of New Hope, Wisconsin, to live with her supportive father, Frank. While attempting to hide from her public shame, she runs into her warm former dance teacher, Miss Barb, who invites her to visit the local dance studio. There, April is reluctantly introduced to a highly uncoordinated, eccentric, and misfit group of young, inexperienced children who dream of competing in the upcoming "Dance Down" competition. She initially rejects the idea of teaching them, viewing small-town life as a massive step backward, until she uncovers a crucial detail in the tournament rulebook: the ultimate national finals in Atlantic City will be judged by the iconic Welly Wong, a massive Broadway producer who remains entirely unafraid of Ruth Zimmer's influence.
