SYNOPSIS Mia, a young, ambitious ballerina, is up against her girlfriend Sasha for the lead role in their studio's ballet. Their relationship, however, is still a secret, as Mia worries that coming out as gay will negatively affect her ballet career. On the day of the audition, Mia ignores Sasha, which leaves Sasha hurt and confused. In an emotional confrontation, Mia admits her fears, but the fight ends without resolution, and Mia ignores the problem by focusing on the pas de deux. However, she is pushed over the edge when Marco, the male lead, tries to kiss her during the rehearsal. The next day, Mia approaches her ballet mistress about the situation, only to be reminded that she is, in fact, replaceable in the dance industry. This inspires a moment of courage, in which Mia insists that Sasha dance the pas de deux alongside her, using the dance to both come out and prove her love to Sasha. Submission Instructions: 1.
