Dance Academy

It's Tara's final year at the Academy and her preparations for a surprise 18th birthday for Abigail clash with a tantalising opportunity for Third Years to audition for temporary roles in the National Company's current ballet.

It's an overwhelming first few days working as fill-in dancers in the Company and a whole new learning curve. Christian continues to shirk responsibility and avoid returning to the Academy.

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 has to choose between the girl he cares about and the opportunity to partner a principal dancer, while Tara is worried about Kat but goes about trying to fix her in all the wrong ways. Ollie challenges Abigail to a dance off.

Saskia schemes to arrange an early audition for her favourite student, with disastrous results, while Ollie continues to pursue career alternatives and creates a professional music video.

Abigail auditions for a guest role in a dance movie, while Grace does everything she can to ensure she's allowed to go on the Third Year tour.

Grace seems to have found a perfect match with life on the road until Zach clamps down on declining standards during the Third Year regional tour. At the Academy, Kat commences a leading role in the indi dance movie.

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.

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.

Christian and Ollie prepare for a major hip hop competition; Kat prepares to audition for a minor role in Coppelia and Ben takes a stab at revenge.

The countdown to the final Company auditions has begun when suddenly it's a whole new playing field and Christian and Tara come to a final resolution about their relationship.

In their Company interviews the students finally learn if they will receive a professional contract with the National Ballet Company.
