Struggling Brandon attempts to focus attentively on his schoolwork during his first year of college but always comes to the same conclusion: dance is his love. His geeky roommate Nate suggests they form a dance crew, but their efforts to recruit other freestyle dancers prove unproductive. Thus, they widen their search to include a breakdancer, a performance artist, a Bhangra dancer, an animator, a ballerina, and a ballroom dance parent. Brandon's first opportunity to demonstrate to himself and his family that he and his crew have what it takes to make it as dancers comes in the form of a nationwide dance battle headlined by his previous group, Levelz.
