In 1980s Minnesota, sixteen-year-old Rosa Dominguez is expected to become the leading dancer in her father's ballet studio. She longs instead for the freedom of the dance studio upstairs, where Prince is rehearsing. When her father announces auditions connected to an upcoming concert, Rosa sees a chance to move beyond the life planned for her. Her friendship with Nikki and the music around them push her to choose between family expectations and her own artistic identity.
