Justin and Jodie have finally made it to the national ballroom-dancing championships in Blackpool. Luka's come all the way from Russia. Nancy's been training for this since she was three. Lee and Samantha arrive on a wave of success.
But what if your dance-floor dreams turn into a nightmare? How do you stop dancing to other people's tunes?
A clear eyed, sharp but affectionate look at the fixed smiles and fake tans of the world of ballroom dancing.
