Tatara is an average middle school student with no particular dreams until an unexpected incident draws him into the fascinating world of ballroom dancing. “If I can just find one thing to be passionate about...” He dives into the world of dance, believing it's his opportunity to change. “Dance is a passion!”

A professional dancer named Sengoku rescues Tatara, an introverted third-year middle school student who is being harassed by delinquents.
