She receives a flyer in school about a new dance class being offered. When Sophie arrives to dance class, the other girls are confused when they see her talking with her hands. They immediately think that because she is deaf, she can not dance. To help the girls see through Sophie’s eyes, the dance teacher Miss Helyn, has the girls dance without music or verbal instructions.
