Kai is a member of the Balkov Ballet Academy, a private branch of the Bolshoi Ballet. He's been dancing ballet since he was 5 years old, together with fellow dancers Yuriy and Bryan (Sergei and Ian were harshly expelled from the academy as they grew up, when it became clear their body types weren't going to suit the uniform perfection that Boris Balkov wants).
Kai is incredibly talented but has lost the spark due to the heavy expectations and pressure Boris puts on him, and feels that lately he's just going through the motions.
Then he meets Tyson, a free-spirited member of a street dance troupe who is travelling the world with his team to pick up new techniques. Tyson isn't as technically gifted as Kai but loves to dance and has an intense passion that Kai finds himself envious of.
Despite insulting each other on their first meeting, they eventually make a deal; Kai will teach Tyson the fundamentals of ballet if Tyson will teach him some moves from his travels.
