The Next Step

Shortly before Aunt Kathy's wedding, James meets her fiancé - a face he hoped he wouldn't see again. When the wedding gets called off, James and Riley rush to get the kooky couple back together and save the day. Sparks fly as Eldon and Thalia teach a J-Troupe class.

Chloe chooses between joining a ballet company and staying at The Next Step. Fed up with Eldon avoiding her, Thalia gets to the bottom of his odd behaviour.

James and Riley struggle to find the perfect anniversary gift for each other. Giselle and Thalia question Amanda’s place in a trio when Max offers to help. Eldon, West, and Cierra discover that Noah has superhuman abilities, and put him to the test.

Cierra works to help her sister land a spot on the internationals team. Emily encourages Stephanie to throw her hat into the ring.

As part of the International Dancer Exchange program, a dancer from England has come to stay - and cause trouble - with The Next Step. Riley is tasked with showing mischievous newcomer, Ella, the ropes. Amanda tries to avoid going to Sweden on the dancer exchange.

Riley and James are assigned a duet for Internationals. While James is busy with his band, Ella challenges Riley to have some fun rather than wait around for him. Eldon helps Thalia with her quest to find sweet spots in the studio.

In an effort to help ease tension as Internationals approaches, Riley and Ella trick A-Troupe into learning a square dance. Feeling left out, Noah struggles to bring his dancing to the next level.

Ella makes James and Riley see that their relationship might not be as strong as they thought it was. Thalia and Eldon find new ways of communicating in secret.

Michelle's difficulty dealing with her parents' divorce leads to problems within the team. James and Riley walk a mile in each other's shoes. Ella shows Noah that he belongs in A-Troupe.

Michelle breaks down under the weight of her parents’ divorce and her new status as alternate, so Stephanie tries to help her feel normal again. Noah challenges Eldon’s selection as the International soloist. Ella keeps one-upping the boys in their own silly contests.
