It's a rollercoaster year for Tara and her friends as they begin Second Year at the National Academy. Relationships fall apart as new ones are forged and shaking things up are two new students.

Tara finds a new mentor to admire in Saskia Duncan, the youngest principal dancer in the Company's history. Saskia takes Tara under her wing, but gives her a few things to worry about such as if there's a future with Christian.

Kat finally makes friends with the coterie of outcast girls at school, but despite having sworn off dancing, finds herself helping them choreograph a piece for drama class. Meanwhile, Ben Tickle is upgraded into second year.

Tara's ecstatic when her mentor Saskia is appointed to teach the second years at the Academy. But Tara rapidly discovers that 'perfect' Saskia may not be the supportive teacher she hoped for...

After Sebastian questions his son Ethan on the impressiveness of his piece at the Showcase, Ethan takes it out on Abigail, his soloist, in an attempt to create a spectacular performance.

Sammy's little brother Ari arrives at the Academy throwing Sammy's hectic life schedule into havoc. Kat auditions to be a football cheerleader, happily encouraged by Ben. And Tara is having self esteem issues.

Tara feels the time she spends with Christian is impacting on her dance study and suggests they 'pause' their relationship.

Tara decides to take action after realising that Saskia's continual critique of her dancing could jeopardise her mid-year exams, while Christian ditches his partner exam to hang out with Kat.

With exams finally over, both the boys and girls go out to let off some steam. However, Sammy is tense after failing his exams, Tara's still hurting from her breakup, and Grace decides to stir up trouble.

Sammy returns home for his Grandpa Morrie's funeral and to ask his father to support his Academy tuition. An act of sabotage severs frenemies Tara and Abigail.

Grace encourage Tara à agir face à l'attitude cruelle de Saskia à son égard. Kat commence à se former pour le Moulin Rouge et Sammy se voit confier à Ollie, un tuteur de 3e année, pour l'aider à réussir ses examens.

Les brimades de Saskia envers Tara se soldent par une blessure douloureuse. Kat convainc Mlle Raine de lui accorder une audition d'entrée à l'Académie. En revanche, elle devra accepter d'être formée par Abigail.

Tara prend le risque de se blesser gravement et de se faire exclure de l'Académie pour participer à la première épreuve du Prix de Fonteyn. Kat est aux anges lorsqu'elle apprend qu'elle est admise à l'Académie.

Tandis qu'elle se remet de sa blessure au dos, Tara découvre une nouvelle facette de Ben qui danse bénévolement pour des patients atteints de leucémie. Kat tente de trouver ses marques en première année.

Tara négocie son retour à l'Académie. Ethan, qui recherche un emploi stable, accepte de chorégraphier une comédie musicale expérimentale.

L'amitié entre Sammy et Ollie aborde un terrain nouveau lorsqu'ils partent sur les routes pour que Sammy participe aux éliminatoires régionaux du Prix de Fonteyn. Christian les rejoint dans le but de renouer avec son père avec lequel il est brouillé.

The rivalry escalates between the first and second year students resulting in a dance battle; and Tara becomes unhinged when Grace entices her to become less serious.

During an excursion to the circus, Christian's dad makes promises he's unable to keep; Tara tries to repair her friendship with Kat, and Sammy goes public with his new romance.

Tara opens herself up to love again and hunts for a new crush, Finn tries to convince Abigail to be the star of his new show, and Grace goes to extreme lengths to get Zach's attention.

Abigail's forced to make a choice between her ballet and the fringe musical. Her situation intensifies when her mother Anthea unexpectedly arrives. Meanwhile, Sammy tires of Ollie's persistent criticism.

Grace's father retracts a promise to visit her at the Academy: her self-assurance plummets. Christian's bounce back from his Prix de Fonteyn elimination drives him towards some reckless behaviour.

During rehearsals of 'Peter Pan' Ben uses various tactics to prove to Tara he's a leading man, while Kat's efforts to research her character in the production lead to a realisation about her relationship.

The Prix de Fonteyn is two days away. Tara is stunned as Grace has returned to Sydney as a representative for the UK Prix team. The students' lives are changed forever when a tragedy strikes the Academy...

Chacun tente de surmonter son chagrin après la mort de Sammy. Tara ne parvient pas à extérioriser son émotion mais ne désire plus danser, au contraire d'Abigail qui se présente à une audition.

Abigail and Tara join forces to go head-to-head with a formidable enemy. Christian has to choose between the girl he loves and his desire to escape and Ben is offered an opportunity of a lifetime.
