Ayanda Mbeki is a dancer...or more accurately she's a closet dancer. Aya loves dancing and she's pretty damn good. But being a big girl she has faced harsh criticism and cruel words from childhood classmate and dance instructors which put her off dance as a career. Instead Aya embarks on a career in interior design which she is brilliant at and lands herself an exclusive internship at Blue Box Interiors. This is her dream employer but some nasty classmates are part of the programme too and Aya's dream quickly turns into a nightmare.

After weeks of misery and paper pushing, Aya gets the opportunity to work in the field far far away from her tormentors which she grabs with both hands. Aya gets deployed to Tapped Out Dance Studio and it isn't until she meets Raphael Romero, the dashing owner of the studio during the renovation that her passion for dance is reignited and her life is spiced up for the better...or so we hope.
