If I recall correctly, the main villain used to be part of the "Dance Central Agency Against Dance Crimes" but was let go for being too strict with his dancing methods. So he seeks to avenge them by mind-controlling dancers from previews time periods (70's,80's,90's,2000's), including his own son Oblio who used to be a powerful, free-spirited dancer. Intense.
