Legendary top artist Ryuji Hoshigami has created an entertainment stage called the RizSta Stage. The performances and dance battles which happen here will be distributed around the world, where viewers can use their RizSta Lights to send Voltages (cheering energy) to the artists. With this, an exciting dance battle stage of dreams was born, to which the amount of Voltages sent determines the outcome. However, only those who have the RizSta brace can be a RizSta and stand on the stage. Ryuji creates a dance school, the RizSta Dance Academy, where he raises new RizSta. A flood of young people all over the country aim to be top artists, but a strict entrance exam awaits. Miu, Rion and Shota aim to become RizSta, and work hard to overcome tough challenges in order to seize their dream of becoming the top artist.
