He forms a dance troupe with his friends, including his younger brother Mitchell, and they begin performing at a local club. However, when Sean's romantic interest, Linda, rejects him, he becomes disillusioned with his life and falls into a depression.
In an attempt to find himself again, Sean travels to Sydney to audition for a prestigious dance company.

Making a bold decision, he quits his job and takes a chance on his passion for dance.
With the help of his friends and family, Sean puts together a show that combines hip-hop and tap dancing, and they perform it at a local festival. Though the performance is initially a disaster, they eventually manage to win over the crowd with their unique style and energy.
