Plot

Honey wants to be a big time dancer, but she's having trouble making it to the top. But finally she's spotted by big-time producer Michael Ellis, who offers her a job. Honey willingly accepts, and gets started straight away. She's a big hit and even gets a promotion, but soon her boss tries to make sexual advances on her, which Honey declines and loses her job. Meanwhile the community center, where Honey works voluntarily as a hip-hop dance teacher, is falling apart. Soon Honey is forced to find a new dance studio and finds herself in a financial snag because of her previous job loss. She decides to put on a big dance performance to raise money for a studio. It's a hit and Honey opens up her own studio.
