Anthea lives on a busy farm where she loves feeding the animals and twirling around in her favorite boots. When she is chosen to dance as Cinderella in the school play, she suddenly finds it hard to dance in proper ballet shoes and has a big tumble on stage. With a little courage and a lot of heart, she discovers that dancing in the way that feels right for her can still make the show truly magical.
