The Next Step

Some of last year’s A-Troupe, and some new hopefuls, show up for auditions only to find that The Next Step has a sleek new look, and is being run by an unexpected face from the past.

Michelle, dissatisfied with Emily’s dance studio philosophy, starts her own team (TNS West) and discovers some surprising new talent. Meanwhile, Noah tries to help Piper adjust to dancing under Emily’s new direction at TNS East.

An unpolished new dancer at TNS West might not have what it takes to be part of the team. Meanwhile at TNS East, Richelle’s lifelong dream comes true. And Piper helps Amy to stay out of trouble with her mother.

TNS East hires a guest choreographer, Leon Blackwood, to teach a Hip Hop workshop. But when TNS West shows up to join in, the divide between the two troupes grows even deeper. As Noah and Jacquie’s connection becomes obvious, Henry is forced to make a tough decision.

After being assigned a duet, Noah struggles to find the chemistry on stage with Richelle because of his feelings for Jacquie. LaTroy, Henry, and Amy try to play a prank on Ozzy, who teaches his teammates a lesson. Amy's mom discovers that Amy has been lying about being on A-Troupe, and Amy's worst fears may come true.

Piper’s determination to help Amy get on to A-Troupe has a surprising outcome. Things start to heat up with Noah and Jacquie, while Kingston and Ozzy try to take Henry’s mind off his troubles.
