Tara Webster spent her entire life training to become a ballet dancer, possessing the rare seeds of greatness that would one day rank her among the best in the world. After a devastating injury sidelined her career, Tara decided to forget about dancing and concentrate on fitting into normal life as a university student. Nonetheless, when she is presented with the opportunity to tour with the National Ballet Company in a walk-on role, she is convinced...

Exams are over and, with one night of freedom, both the boys and the girls go on a mission to prove they'll have more fun without each other.

Sammy is forced to choose between dance and his father when compulsory Saturday ballet classes clash with his Synagogue services. Christian struggles to accept the rules of the Academy.

When the Board decides to cut hip hop and jazz from the curriculum Kat goes on the warpath, blaming her mother for this change. Tara and Christian find themselves together at the beach and their spark is rekindled, so much so that they lose track of time and are running late for the Patron's Showcase performance when Tara trips and badly injures herself.

Saskia's bullying of Tara results in a painful injury. Kat convinces Miss Raine to grant her an audition to return to the Academy but has to let Abigail train her.

The Academy students experience stinging prejudice from the judges during the National Round of the Prix de Fonteyn, just as Sammy's father visits the competition to watch his son dance for the first time in years.

All is not well in Kat world but she's trying desperately to pretend she's fine; while Christian's plans for a cruisey return to the Academy are derailed by the Board.

Ben tries a variety of tactics in rehearsals for "Peter Pan" to prove to Tara that he's a leading man, while Kat's efforts to research her character in the production lead to a realisation about her relationship with Christian.

The National Ballet comes to town and Tara is thrilled to learn that Kat's mother is Natasha Willis, the Company's Principal dancer and her childhood idol. Sammy's girlfriend, Mia, also arrives forcing Sammy to evaluate his growing feelings for Abigail.

A career-making performance opportunity brings out the best and worst in everyone and an injury that sidelines Ollie prompts him to use someone to get ahead.
