Junior footballers from the Institute of Sport have been sent to the National Academy for a week of specialized training in order to improve their elevation, coordination and flexibility. Tension between the footballers and male dancers soon erupts and the challenge is on to prove which is the toughest sport. The footballers must learn a routine and dance it with no mistakes, while the ballet boys must score once in a game of touch football. Meanwhile Sammy and Abigail continue their secret relationship, but Sammy insists on knowing where he stands. Abigail refuses to go public and proves to him that a kiss doesn't mean anything, by kissing one of the football players. Tara is caught up in her own competition; Miss Raine is pitting her against Abigail in nightly private classes, intending to use their rivalry to drive each other harder. Tara doesn't like the person she becomes when she uses Abigail's vulnerabilities to get ahead. By the end of the week, alliances have formed between the two groups of athletes and the dancers learn from the footballers how to work as a team.

-Geusts from the Sport Instute come to the Dance Academy, so the students go back to the basics. Miss.Raine decides to give Tara and Abigail private lessons. The ballet boys work on a dance routine, but the sports boys make fun of them. In order to settle there argument, they decide to have a dance/football competition. Abigail doesn't want having a boyfriend to effect her dancing, so she breaks up with Sammy. In private classes Tara does better than Abigail. Sammy confronts Abigail saying that she should not have broken up with him because Tara has privates too, but she is a relationship trainwreck. Then Abigail explains how she doesn't think that kissing someone means anything so she kisses one of the students from the sport institute. The football boys[[File:Public-abigail-and-sammy-23656141-500-333.jpeg|thumb|Abigail and Sammy publicizing their relationship.]] can't dance so Kat helps him, even though they are still terrible. The ballet boys are also not very well at football. Tara walks out of class because Miss.Raine yells at Abigail. The boy that Abigail kissed sees her crying and talks it through with her. They talk about how the "naturals" are lucky and how they hate them and compete with them. Ollie (one of the football players) is asking Kat out on a date when Ethan sees her helping the other team. The students from the Sports Instute win there part of the challenge by completing the dance. The ballet boys are losing. After Kat tells them to work as a team, Sammy (normally a terrible football player) scores the winning point. The ballet boys and football players exchange shirts. Sammy and the boy Abigail kissed are exchanging when the boy asks Sammy out on a date, but Sammy says that he is unavailable. Finally, Sammy and Abigail kiss in front of everyone!
