Hop aboard the joyous journey and hopeful happening when eighteen year old Alex Owens lets her dreams take her into the strastosphere. By day, Alex toils as a welder in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania factory, a steel mill, fusing metal pipes and watching the sparks fly. But the job is merely a time filler, a place to fantasize about her real ambitions.
When Alex takes off her protective gear, she arms herself in a new outfit and lets her passions soar free. By night, Alex explores the world of flashdancing in a club, a closer reality to her real hopes: becoming a ballet dancer. She is working to gain admittance to a ballet academy and she will do anything, endure any hardship, to make that come true.
Her optimism and her obstacles fuel the show, as her friends, her employer, an aging ballerina and her love interest all help and hinder her climb to her professional heights.
