Practice has resumed for the upcoming nationals! From here on out the choreography gets more advanced and the team will even need to learn couples dancing. Rin is doing her best to keep up with her team mates' skill level... with a little help from some special teachers and friends of course!

During the course of a day spent with Grampa, Owen learns silly dances to fight the urge to pee.

"Kaboku Kotani is starting high school, and he plans to do what he's always done: go along with his friends, keep quiet, and not draw too much attention to himself. After all, it's hard enough to get by with a stutter like his-- why make things worse by standing out from the crowd? But then he sees another first-year, Hikari Wanda, dancing like no one is watching-- or like she doesn't care who sees her. It makes Kaboku wonder: Could he reach that...

"The semifinals pit Kabo against Kabeya, challenging the young, inexperienced dancer to confront a street-smart opponent who's made battling his life's mission. As if the contest wasn't lopsided enough, Kabeya adds insult to injury when he taunts Kabo, covering his eyes and refusing to watch him dance. But what's he really hiding under that mask?

When their dance teacher gets sick just as Julie, Lucie, and Alia's dance class is accepted into a national competition, Lucie steps up to choreograph a ballet for the competition, but the girls split into two groups when Carla decides she will choregraph a number, too.

He and Wanda head for the park where the local B-Boys practice, and they seem to make a real impression. Gaku Kabeya is the one breaker who seems above it all, and if he acts a little arrogant, maybe it's because he's really, really good at what he does. He thinks Kabo has what it takes to be a great breakdancer, but will...

"While Wanda pursues a part in Assay's dance showcase, Kabo will have to decide whether he wants to forge ahead with hip-hop, or if the siren call of breakdancing will make him part of Kabe's circle. He'd better choose fast though, because there's an all-B-Boy competition coming up, and Kabe wants Kabo to partner with him--but only if he can polish his breakdancing basics before the battle!

"Featuring Julie, Lucie, and Alia, as well as their fellow students, teachers, and families, as they dream, dance the Snow Queen ballet, learn flamenco, and grow as a team"--
