When Billy brings his pet velociraptor to his sister's ballet class, he thinks all that prancing about is just plain silly. "Even my pet dinosaur could do better!" Soon, under the tutelage of the strict Madame Ciporilli, the dinosaur and his friends learn start learning the positions, movements, and gestures ... and it isn't long before they figure out it's a disciplined art not just for girls, but for dinosaurs and boys, too! Finally, the plots of the world's most famous ballets are explained and every dinosaur gets to be a ballerina!
