Inhaltsangabe

Kate loves going to Highland dance class each week and is thrilled when her teacher suggests she compete at the Highland Games for the first time. Kate agrees to practice, but quickly changes her mind when she finds out that dancing at home by herself is not as much fun as dancing with friends in her class. Besides, she figures her dancing is already good enough. Everything will be fine...or will it? A single misstep sets off a hilarious chain of events across the whole Highland Games field in this over-the-top tale.
