Melinda’s passion is to be a ballerina, but her curvy body betrays her. Desperate and determined to dance, she throws herself into the gladiator pit of International Latin competition, where she dyes her hair, tans her skin, and even changes her name. She feels empowered yet worries she’s losing too much of herself. When Dmitri, a dance partner, pushes her into a ##metoo situation, she is faced with a decision. What’s more important? Winning? Love? Or dance? Xavier, her mentor, tells her not to hide as he once hid his sexuality and to embrace her individual gifts—but only Melinda can take that grande jete of faith and choose her destiny.
