JoJo’s life is upended when her beloved dance coach, Val, decides to retire and is replaced by a sparkle-hating-drill-sergeant instructor named Poppy. JoJo soon realizes she can’t hide her Sparkle, not to mention her Bow, and is kicked off the dance team. Unable to convince her best friends, The Rubies to join her, JoJo forms a new team with an eclectic group of athletes. After days of practice, JoJo and the newly formed “The J Team” finally have a routine for the State Dance Competition.
