However her caring parents notice her struggle and suggest she attends a support group with other dancers, this is when we are introduced to Ben who has found freedom in contemporary ballet as an expression of his Asperger's disorder. They immediately hit it off, building a strong relationship, tension and excitement help Chrissy overcome her fears and starts to let go of the idea of 'perfect' as they work together to get through to the ballet academy finals.
