Kylie Jean Carter has been waiting for three years to become a Little Dazzler--a junior cheerleader for the high school's Dancing Dazzlers--so she can cheer for her brother's high school football team.

After being told that she plays like a boy Angie considers quitting her favorite basketball team for the cheerleading squad, but when she faces her chance to dance she questions if cheerleading is what will really make her happy.
