Woman aspires to become an elite Renaissance dancer. She spends most of her time training in the galliard form and adopting a 16th century Europe style of living. Woman's family urge her to pursue a more conventional path of life - study for the SAT, go to college, work in finance, etc. However, Woman sees a life in the traveling Renaissance fair circus following a graduation at the renowned Flying Fitzgerald's Circus School for Flourishing Flowers. It is revealed that Woman, although possessing verified talents, has never performed in the presence of her family. Faced with the impending decisions of the future, Woman embarks on a quest to prove her skills to her family and persuade them to let her attend FFCSFF.

Unfortunately, a series of unfortunate events lead to Ant's premature demise. Driven by grief, Woman abandons her dreams of dancing glory. But five years later, realizing she had become the very thing she denounced long ago, Woman uses the sacrifice of Ant to follow her dreams. Because if she could teach an ant to dance, she could do anything.
