Mia the kitten is so excited about her first day of ballet class that she accidentally brings her big sister's tutu instead of her own.

Offering extra help to a newcomer in Miss Bird's dance class, Mia and Ruby are frustrated by Sara's determination to put her own spin on every dance move, a preference that introduces the girls to new ideas about creativity and individuality.

Delighted to be asked by Miss Bird to help during a little dancers' class, an exuberant Mia observes that the little ballerinas in her charge have difficulties performing steps, a challenge that prompts Mia to devise a clever solution.

"The big recital is just around the corner, and all of the students in Miss Bird's dance class are busy getting ready. The stage is designed, the costumes are picked, and the dancers must practice, practice, practice! But when Mia decides to practice on her way home from class, she falls and hurts her paw. Oh, no! Can Mia still be part of the big day? Miss Bird might have the perfect part for Mia after all."--Dust jacket.
