The Winskter informs Disco Bear that The Ballet Skunks are in town putting on a show at the community theater and asks Disco Bear for help. Disco Bear lets out an "Oh yeah! and shakes hands with The Winkster. Lumpy walks by and Joni leaps into him causing him to fall off the boardwalk to his death. JD Winkerman shrugs and checks his watch noticing that it is time for him to go to work at his Farmer's Market store. The Winkster walks across the street and begins working,

A couple of days later, The Ballet Skunks are practicing at the community theater of Pearl City. Giggles, Cuddles, Toothy, Petunia and Flaky are making the set. Disco Bear and JD Winkerman gives the ballerinas some advice to stay focused. The Generic Tree Friend orchestra begins playing some classical music and the ballerinas gets started with their ballet. Phoebe loses her balance and falls on the stage floor. The Winkster helps Phoebe back to her feet and tells her to concentrate and not look at her feet while dancing.

After a while, The Ballet Skunks take a break and head to the green room backstage. The Winkster and Disco head to the break room for break time.

Meanwhile, Cuddles paints part of the backdrop a little too hard that some paint splatters on Petunia. Her OCD kicks in and she starts freaking out, but Giggles uses a wet wipe to clean the paint off Petunia which calms her down. The Winkster goes to the area and asks if everything is okay. Giggles informs JD Winkerman that Petunia had paint splattered on her. The Winkster tells Cuddles to be careful with his paint brush. Toothy is using his tail to put some pieces of props together. JD Winkerman is impressed at Toothy's work. Flaky asks The Winskter for a replacement paint brush because her other brush broke. JD Winkerman gets funky and hands Flaky a new paint brush.

That night, it's showtime. JD Winkerman and Disco Bear welcome the crowd to the community theater and introduce The Ballet Skunks. The crowd breaks out in thunderous applause. The orchestra begins playing as Joni, Odette, Debbie, Lin, Dorothy, Phoebe and Jenny Penny begin their dancing. Phoebe does what Disco Bear and The Winkster taught her. Joni twirls around. Jenny Penny, Debbie, Odette, Lin, and Dorothy dance on their toes then begin dancing in a circle.
