Rhythm Is a Dancer follows Ro, a young woman with a dwindling dance career who returns home after many years to meet her biological father (Tate Donovan) for the first time. Born to Susan (Amy Aquino), a lesbian who opted for insemination, Ro grapples with the complexities of her unconventional family dynamic and soon forms a bond at her new job with three lively octogenarians who help her reconnect with her family, her roots, and herself.
