In the East African country of Ethiopia, in an ancient city called Hora FinFinne, a King and Queen dwell in a palace with their twelve remarkable daughters. Though the girls range in ages and sizes, there's one thing they all have in common: dancing is their very favorite pastime. They long to attend balls, but the King prefers for his daughters to stay home. Craftiness and creativity lead the twelve siblings to pursue what they desire, despite their father's wishes.
