The Next Step

The team finds out who purchased The Next Step's building, and with Internationals around the corner, the pressure is on to either find a new place to dance or make a huge sacrifice that will hurt the troupe. Much to Riley's surprise, James uses a special talent to help plan his Aunt Kathy's wedding.
