Mary Santiago is a high school senior who is passionate about dancing. She aspires to attend a top dance school in New York, but her dreams are overshadowed by her stepmother Dominique, played by Jane Lynch, who forces her to work as a maid in her house. Dominique is a former pop star who lost her career due to her bad temper, and she took out her frustration on Mary. Mary’s stepsisters, Bree and Britt, played by Jessica Parker Kennedy and Emily Perkins, are equally nasty, and they bully Mary at every opportunity.
Mary’s luck changed when she met Joey Parker, played by Drew Seeley, a famous pop star who recently moved into her neighborhood. Joey was an arrogant and spoiled celebrity who was celebrating his new album’s release party, and he ended up dancing with Mary during the party. Joey was impressed with Mary’s dance moves, and he became intrigued by her. However, he didn’t recognize her after the party because Mary wore a mask when they were dancing, and he only saw her back.
Joey was hosting a competition to find a backup dancer for his upcoming music video, and Mary saw it as an opportunity to showcase her skills. Mary faced several challenges while trying to attend the audition, but she eventually made it to the audition. Mary successfully impressed Joey and his friends with her dance moves, and Joey offered her the job.
The plot thickened when Joey’s ex-girlfriend, played by Jessica Parker Kennedy, tried to sabotage Mary’s chances of becoming the backup dancer. Mary was initially demoralized when she discovered that Joey was dating someone else, but she raised her game and won the competition. As a reward, Joey invited Mary to attend his masquerade ball, and he said he would make it up for not recognizing her earlier.
The masquerade ball was the climax of the movie, and it was a scene that was filled with romance, laugh, and drama. Mary attended the ball, looking beautiful in her dress and mask. Joey, who had fallen in love with Mary without realizing it, was surprised when he saw Mary wearing the same mask as the girl he danced with at his release party. Joey tried to unmask Mary, but Dominique interrupted and revealed that Mary was her daughter and that she was working as a maid in their house.
Joey was shocked to discover that Mary was not only a talented dancer but also came from humble backgrounds. Joey and Mary danced together, and he finally declared his love for her in front of everyone. The couple kissed, and it was a fairytale ending to a modern Cinderella story.
