From the publisher

Every week, Aunt Lena goes to the matinee and returns home to perform what she saw for her niece, Sophia, but one week while performing the rhumba, she hurts her back and is forced to stay in bed, so Sophia decides to put on her own show for her sickly aunt in place of her precious matinee.
