S1 E1 • Que la fête commence

A-troupe and B-troupe dancers audition to earn a place in the A- troupe. We learn that to be in A-troupe dancers have to earn their place. When the third group of dancers are about to start their audition, an unknown dancer named Michelle who just moved from Wisconsin comes in. By this unexpected twist, last year's Dance Captain, Emily feels threatened by Michelle, having her A-troupe all planned out, and not wanting this "random girl" to mess that up. Her best friend Stephanie volunteers to go eavesdrop on Michelle and Kate, the studio owner, but Emily wants to go herself. An odd relationship is then revealed when we find out Eldon is head over heels in love with Emily but she doesn't like him, but Eldon asks her out every day before and after rehearsals. We then learn about the E-girls. They are a clique that had all the girls from A-troupe from last year. Emily is the leader, Tiffany, Stephanie, Giselle (known as Ellie), and Emily's younger sister Riley. Stephanie finds out on her phone that Michelle was named Miss national soloist, the rest of the E-girls are impressed, but Emily just calls her a diva and takes the phone. Michelle says in a confessional later that she does not want anyone to know about this, as she wants to just be accepted for who she is and wants to be treated like everyone else.

Giselle, unfortunately does not make it into A-troupe. Giselle is later kicked out of E-girls for not being in A-Troupe, as the rules are that all E-girls must be in A-troupe. Emily promises to get Giselle back in A-troupe, and kick Michelle out. As for Chloe, she now becomes part of E-girls. Stephanie tells Michelle before their first dance rehearsal is in Studio B but, Giselle, who is on her way to B-troupe tells her that A-troupe is always in studio A. Stephanie tells us in a confessional she did this so Michelle would be late, and get a bad reputation in A-troupe. It is said by people in A-troupe and as well in a confessional done by James was that James has dated many girls before, including Beth who is now in B-troupe, and uses dancing as an "unfair" advantage to get girls. It is said as well that E-girls is named by Emily, who's name starts with the letter "E" so that's why they are called the E-Girls. Also the E-girls have over 100 of rules, the main one being that you always look out for Emily and fellow E-Girls, also they have a fairly simple hand shake, creating an "E" with their hand, linking it with another E-girl to create an "E" on the top and a "G" on the bottom.
