At a party, Taylor danced with PJ's girlfriend in an ambiguous way, which annoyed PJ, punched Taylor and clashed with PJ's gang. PJ pulled out his gun. Taylor stopped and left the scene with Mike and Skinner. Three people were frolicking in the street in the middle of the night, and accidentally broke the window glass of a building. When they went in, they found that this was the classroom of Maryland Art School, an aristocratic university. Skinner said that this is a school for rich children, so the three of them are raging in the theater. Found by school security, Mike was caught by security. Loyal Taylor escaped to save Mike and cover Mike, but was caught. Finally, the judge sentenced Taylor to 200 hours of community service at Maryland Art School. Taylor was taken home by her foster mother. The alcoholic adoptive father laughed at Taylor and was sentenced to community service many times, each time without staying long. I'm sure it will be the same this time.
Anyway, Taylor went to school and became a cleaner.
As a result, youth has reached a turning point.
When he first entered Maryland Art School, Taylor saw a completely different side from his own school, full of students who worked hard for art. President Gordon told Taylor that many students go to school on scholarships, and Taylor's wanton destruction caused maintenance costs equivalent to a student's lost tuition. Although Taylor apologized, she didn't take it seriously and felt that she was just cleaning up.
Because he likes dancing, Taylor passed by the modern ballet classroom and was attracted by everyone's powerful dance. He stopped to watch and met the heroine Nora, who was really moved.
Nora is an excellent ballet student, with excellent family conditions, and also loves dancing. I will graduate soon, and I am preparing for my graduation show. I attach great importance to the duet. However, the male partner who practiced dancing together was accidentally injured and could not dance. Nora wants to be a partner with a school boyfriend, but her boyfriend is too busy recording songs to take care of Nora and ask her to find another partner. So Nora began to choose a partner, and there was no suitable choice. Taylor has been cleaning the dance studio. When she saw this, she told Nora that she could dance with her. Nora was desperate. Although she was not satisfied with Taylor, she had to agree because no one practiced dancing. They went to find President Gordon together. The president is a responsible educator who is willing to give young people a chance and agrees with Taylor as a partner.
Taylor finishes class every afternoon and goes to the art school to rehearse with Nora. Taylor's dance style is casual and free, and she has not received professional dance learning. Nora, who has been trained as a professional ballet dancer, has totally different dance styles. It was difficult to blend in at first, and many jokes were made. But because he likes dancing, Taylor persisted despite the fatigue of choreography.
One day, Taylor came to the rehearsal room one hour late to rehearse, and found that other students were rehearsing, looking for Nora everywhere, finding Nora in Nora's boyfriend's recording studio, quarreling with Nora, and her boyfriend's agitation and disdain. Taylor's pride was hurt and she gave up dancing with Nora.
Nora was once discouraged when Dentelle didn't come to practice and her mother didn't support her dancing. Taylor, Mike and the thin man watched the basketball game at home. Taylor suggested that Mike, who likes basketball, join the school team and take part in the competition. Mike disapprovingly asked Taylor that Taylor always gave up at the beginning and blamed him for something. In short, Taylor woke up and felt that he couldn't give up, so he took the initiative to make up with Nora. Only then did Taylor know why Nora attached so much importance to acting. Nora told him that the big names of every dance company in the country would come to see the performance. If she gives up, she will have nothing and can't go anywhere. But Nora doesn't trust Tyler. Taylor promised Nora to practice ballet with a group of children to show her determination. Taylor's clumsy posture caused everyone to laugh. So, the two began to rehearse again.
Nora took Taylor to her dream stage, a roof near the sea where her dead father worked. Facing the sea, Nora told Taylor about her dream, which deeply attracted Taylor. Taylor, who is not confident, said that she can't do anything yet. Nora said, but you've already started it. That's how it started. Nora planted the seeds of dreams in Taylor's heart. Nora hopes that many people can dance together, but she can't find a good partner. The rest are students from Grade One and Grade Two. Taylor said, if you don't understand, how do you know they are not good? Both of them are influencing each other imperceptibly. Taylor teaches Nora hip-hop and Nora teaches Taylor ballet. In the sunset, the two danced on the roof, pushing the film to a climax.
Back at school, Taylor carried Nora behind her back and found her a dozen suitable dancers. Nora was very surprised and moved, so she decided to finish the graduation show dance with everyone.
At school, Taylor met Miles, a junior composer who also came from the lower class, and went to school on a scholarship. Miles always hoped that his works could be used as Nora's dance music, but it never caught Nora's attention. Later, under Taylor's reminder, Nora listened to Miles' composition and liked it very much, so she decided to use this piece.
Gradually, Taylor realized that she might have a chance to come to this school. So, I asked President Gordon to transfer, and the principal temporarily refused. Let him prove through his own efforts and let the headmaster see that he is very eager to get this opportunity.
The song written by Nora's boyfriends Brett and Miles was signed, but this song was marked as the sole author by Brett, and Miles was hurt. Nora was very angry when she found out. They broke up because of Brett's selfishness.
Nora and Taylor get along with each other day and night, and they gradually develop a good impression. After a dance, Taylor confessed to Nora. Taylor said, you all know what you want, but I don't know anything and I don't want anything. Nora asked, What did you want when you were a child? Children want things. Taylor said: for me, it's best not to ask for anything, so it doesn't matter whether I leave or not. But now I want to go to Maryland Art School and want more things that I didn't have before. Whenever I want to have something, I have to hold on to myself. Then Tyler kissed Nora.
Every day you and I rehearse sweetly. Nora also suggested that Taylor use the opportunity of large-scale dance performances to prove himself to President Gordon.
But it didn't last long. One day, Taylor saw that Nora's original partner's foot injury had healed and went back to the classroom to rehearse with Nora. Taylor felt that Nora had hurt him and abandoned him, and they had a big fight. Taylor gave up dancing and went back to her old life. Later, Nora took the initiative to contact Taylor, who ignored her. Before, Taylor was busy rehearsing and falling in love every day, but ignored the contact with Mike, which made Mike very angry. He thinks he values friends more than friends and ignores Taylor.
Lost Taylor took the initiative to find Mike, and they made up again. Mike is a basketball fan, but he has been unwilling to work hard and lead a muddled life, which belongs to a drunken state today. I often wander around with my younger brother and fail to set a good example for my younger brother. One day, Taylor and Mike went to another party together, but mom wouldn't let her brother go to such a party. So they didn't bring their younger brother, but the thin man found himself and Mike sent the thin man away. Skinner was very angry. On his way home, he saw PJ's car parked on the side of the road and drove it away when no one was there. Annoyed PJ and was shot by PJ.
Skinner's death completely awakened the two men. They should also become better for their mothers and their younger brothers.
Andrew, Nora's partner, still can't dance with Nora because he hasn't fully recovered from the injury in practice. Tyler ignored Nora again. Nora had to rehearse silently alone. On the night of graduation show, Taylor, encouraged by Mike, hurried to the theater, found Nora who was about to go on stage, admitted her mistake and shouldn't leave her. I want to perform with Nora.
Taylor said: I made many wrong decisions, but what I am doing now is to fight for what I want for the first time in my life. Nora was moved by Taylor and chose to trust Taylor.
With the dance music made by Miles, Taylor and Nora danced very successfully. In order to dream, everyone is dancing with their lives, dancing their own lives.
Finally, President Gordon agreed to Taylor's application for transfer. Nora was selected by the dance performance company to sign the contract. At the end of the film, the top management of the performance company pointed to Taylor. Who is the lead dancer? Set the stage for the second episode of the film.
