Storyline

The dancers from Jenny Hill’s school are among the most sought-after in their field. When the troupe goes on tour, Norma—acting as the group’s "captain"—oversees the dancers' discipline with a blend of authority and empathy. However, others envy the success of the Jenny-Hill troupe. Consequently, their rivals send the attractive Harvey to sow discord among the dancers and split the group apart. Yet, thanks to Norma’s watchful eye, Harvey’s efforts prove unsuccessful. It is only when an agent named Torstone arrives on the scene—dangling the promise of solo careers before some of the dancers—that the rivals’ plan finally seems to be succeeding.
