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...

Christian's sentencing hearing has been set and, believing that he's headed for juvenile detention, Christian decides to stop playing by other people's rules and goes back to his old neighbourhood. Tara has been working hard in rehab, with Ethan as her coach, but is too scared to dance again. Sammy is so focused on trying to save Christian that he's been ignoring Abigail and she has to accept that their relationship is over.

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.

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.

Kat's struggle to find friends at normal school brightens when she's able to choreograph a project for drama class, while an exuberant first year, Ben Tickle, is elevated into Second Year and eagerly seeks new friends.

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.

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 Third Years teach a dance class to a group of local kids; Tara feels old wounds re-opening and Abigail has to face her past and let it go.

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.

Whilst recovering from her broken back, Tara discovers a hidden side to Ben who is volunteering in a hospital leukaemia ward performance; and Kat tries to settle into First Year.
