0:00:02 > 0:00:03Previously on The Next Step...
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Noah!
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Today is my first day back at the studio after getting
0:00:07 > 0:00:08out of hospital.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I couldn't be more grateful that I'm actually back.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14You need to give me the power to make some hard decisions.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Whatever I say, goes.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20OK. It's time for the team to start focusing on regionals.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Michelle, you will be doing a solo.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I will be taking you off the duet.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- Me?- A Troupe needs to get to regionals.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29And this was the only way to do it.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Right now, I'm dancing my solo for regionals and I couldn't be happier.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47All of my hard work has finally paid off.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm dancing at my old level or better.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53The whole team is counting on me and it feels great.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I broke up with James so I could stay focused,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07so I'm not thinking about James, I'm not thinking about Alfie,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm just thinking about the qualifier.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I am so confident that we're going to make it to regionals now that
0:01:22 > 0:01:23we've assigned all the dances.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Plus Noah and Alfie are about to start rehearsing their duet for the
0:01:26 > 0:01:29qualifier, so it really looks all the fires are out.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Michelle's solo is great.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But she won't get to dance at regionals if we don't
0:01:35 > 0:01:36win the final qualifier.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38It's all up to Noah and Alfie.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Riley? You know what might really help you next time
0:01:44 > 0:01:47you're in a situation like this?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Two words. Dance captain.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Yeah, I avoided assigning a dance captain just because it invites
0:01:54 > 0:01:56competition onto the team.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00We're a dance team. Competition is good for us.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We really need to start looking for a dance captain.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Maybe Emily's right.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09A dance captain could be my eyes and ears around here.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And who would be better than our old dance captain?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14That was amazing.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16That was so good.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Thank you.- So good, in fact, I think you should be dance captain again.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm flattered but no.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I don't want to be dance captain.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32It's way too much work and I want to focus on my dancing this year.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Michelle would've been perfect.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35If she doesn't want to be dance captain,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38then I have no idea who we are going to choose.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40# We
0:02:40 > 0:02:44# We are going to show the world
0:02:44 > 0:02:48# Everything we're made of
0:02:48 > 0:02:54# We're going to tear the roof off this place
0:03:01 > 0:03:02# Stand up!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15# When you're young you can disappear for fun
0:03:15 > 0:03:18# Falling backwards off the world... #
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Right now, I'm waiting to start rehearsing
0:03:21 > 0:03:22the qualifier duet with Noah.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25After Emily removed Piper, she and Riley decided that Noah
0:03:25 > 0:03:28should be put back on the duet.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Hey, good to see you again.- Good to see you. I'm glad to be back.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- You know I'm ready to get down to business.- Music to my ears.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Noah's ready to work. Good.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I need something to take my mind off of everything that's been going on
0:03:39 > 0:03:42with Riley and just concentrate on dance.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Piper and I, we actually were working on a duet before.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46It's a little too lyrical.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48You know what, I actually have this like crazy idea
0:03:48 > 0:03:49for the theme of our duet.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52This is the first time I get to dance since my surgery
0:03:52 > 0:03:53and I'm so excited.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56In the hospital, my body couldn't move but my mind
0:03:56 > 0:03:58was racing with ideas.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Hit it.- OK. All right. Listen.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I have this very vivid mental image of a velociraptor
0:04:03 > 0:04:04fighting a lemur.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Velociraptors fighting lemurs?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10What did they do to him in that hospital?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I mean, Noah's lost his mind.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14OK. Just brainstorming real quick.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I'll add to your idea.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17How about we don't do that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22And we be kings instead?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Can we be lemur and velociraptor kings?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Maybe we could just start with the lemur, yeah?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Yeah.- OK. You sure you're OK? - Yeah, I'm good.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35They gave you the checkout and everything from the hospital?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yes, I'm totally good. What?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40OK.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43We start in a duelling fashion type thing, going back-to-back.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46A velociraptor would never turn his back on a lemur.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Noah's been away for a while.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I hope he can get his mind back in the game because there's a lot
0:04:50 > 0:04:51riding on this duet.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I just want to thank you guys for volunteering to be dance captain.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56After Michelle turned us down,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58we asked for volunteers to be dance captain
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and Richelle, Skylar and Amy were the dancers who stepped forward.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03OK, how are we going to decide who's going to get this position?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Because, honestly, I think we should just go to studio A,
0:05:06 > 0:05:07have a dance off and be done with it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09This is a waste of time.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Obviously we all know who the next dance captain should be.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Don't make me say it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Being a good dance captain has nothing to do with
0:05:17 > 0:05:20being a good dancer.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- What.- Why is that?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Because a good dance captain is knowledgeable about her fellow
0:05:26 > 0:05:31dancers, caring, compassionate, but above all, super competitive.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I would love to be dance captain but I'm super nervous and when I get
0:05:35 > 0:05:39this nervous, I get a little, well, silly.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- K triple C.- What?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and competitive.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Somehow we're just going to have to hope really, really hard,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57that this magically works out.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This is not going to be a simple process because, well,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Emily is in charge.- That's right, ladies.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06We will be deciding who's going to be dance captain my way.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10And it will not be easy.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14If Emily's in charge, this is going to be tough.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I've only just met her but she seems really intense.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Really, really intense.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Yep, yep, I love that part too.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26That's how you feel?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Jude's one of the musicians from Lost And Found,
0:06:29 > 0:06:30the music studio down the hall.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33He came in this morning and asked me to dance in a music video
0:06:33 > 0:06:34for his new song.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38So what do you think?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39It was... It was all right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43All right?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Jude does not do all right.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Jude does amazing.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Outstanding. Unbelievable.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50But not all right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51That was just all right?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54I'm playing with you.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57It was tight. I'd love to dance in the music video for it.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58You can't do that.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Well, for real, you want to be in it?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Yeah. I already have a million ideas for it.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Jude's song is so amazing.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07It won't be hard to come up with some sick choreo.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08I can't wait to get started.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13The first stop in finding our dance captain is figuring out who is the
0:07:13 > 0:07:15most knowledgeable.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17SQUEAKING SOUND
0:07:17 > 0:07:19OK. Why is mine so hard to squeeze?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It's so much harder than everyone else's.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Well, because you're the strongest, Richelle.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Hmm, funny.- Rudolph?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Shut it off.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Emily is the epitome of a dance captain and if anyone can
0:07:31 > 0:07:33find a diamond in the rough, it's her.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35This is how this game is going to work.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Riley is going to ask you some questions about your fellow dancers.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42If you know the answer, you either ring it, squeeze it, or light it up.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Or light it up.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Each question is worth two points.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53First person to ten points wins.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57What?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Why don't we make each question worth one point and the first person
0:08:01 > 0:08:02to five wins?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You just lost yourself a point.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07SQUEAKING SOUND
0:08:09 > 0:08:12OK, let's get started. Name the dancer with the strongest hip-hop...
0:08:12 > 0:08:13SQUEAK
0:08:13 > 0:08:14- Me.- No, you wish.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15BELL RINGS
0:08:15 > 0:08:16- Skylar.- LeTroy.- Correct.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Name the dancer with the shortest temper.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19BELL RINGS
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Skylar.- Richelle.- Correct again.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, that was just rude.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24BELL RINGS
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Correct.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28You can tell Richelle and Skylar really want this and that's
0:08:28 > 0:08:31great because a dance captain needs that competitive fire.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Name the dancer with the highest kick.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34BELL RINGS
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Skylar.- Amanda. Have you seen her legs?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Yes. Which two dancers have the most complementary dance styles.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40BELL RINGS
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Skylar.- Noah and Richelle. - Good job. Correct.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Which dancer is most likely to be late for a rehearsal?
0:08:45 > 0:08:46BELL RINGS
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Skylar.- Noah. Or Sloane.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Wait. Both.- Correct again.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Well, that is ten points for Skylar,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58zero for Richelle, and negative one for you, Rudolph.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59SQUEAKING SOUND
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Can I keep this?- No.- Good try.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Skylar won that round, somehow.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09But I'm not worried. Round two is mine.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14You think you could follow that from the beginning?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17You know, I'm just going to quickly go grab a drink
0:09:17 > 0:09:18and I'll be right back.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's been so long since I've danced and I want to do it
0:09:20 > 0:09:22more than anything.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25But something's holding me back.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- You're going to come back to rehearse, right?- Yes. Totally.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31This is a little too familiar.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32What?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Why are you running away?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39This might be familiar to Alfie but it's not familiar to me.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I don't know what's going on.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Richelle, Amy, and Skylar,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53you will now be delivering speeches to this gathered crowd.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56A dance captain must be able to rally her troops.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And therefore, the most convincing and rousing speech for dance
0:09:59 > 0:10:01captaincy will win.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I've asked the girls to deliver a speech because standing in
0:10:04 > 0:10:07front of a crowd is intimidating for normal people,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09but a dance captain needs to be fearless.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Amy, you'll go first followed by Richelle and then you, Skylar.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- OK.- Good luck.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Skylar won the knowledge round but this round is way more important.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23This competition could still go to anyone.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Hello. My name is Amy.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29I want to be dance captain...
0:10:30 > 0:10:35..because I think I can make everybody have a good time.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39If you have any problems, talk to me because I'll be the captain.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Except Amy. It's never going to be Amy.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49All right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52When I'm dance captain, everything is going to change around here.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55There are no days off, got it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Oh, and if you miss a rehearsal,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58don't even bother, because you're out.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Richelle's speech scares me.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03What kind of world is she living in?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05And if you're late, don't even get me started.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07OK, Richelle. Thank you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- I'm not done.- Yeah, but we get the point.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I can't believe Emily just cut me off.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Just wait till I'm dance captain, then we'll see who cuts who off.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18APPLAUSE
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I believe in dance.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26That's why I'm here, you know?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29This studio has meant a lot to me...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34..and I believe in it and every dancer in it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39I believe that if we do our best every time we're called to perform,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41then we have no excuses.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45We'll leave it all on the dance floor because that's what dance is.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51I would be honoured to represent The Next Step as your dance captain.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Thank you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55APPLAUSE
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Well, that was a surprise.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01I know.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Wow! Skylar. Bravo.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12What? What are you...?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Move the chair, move the chair, move the chair, move the chair.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Are you Van Damming?- Of course I'm Van Damming.- Oh, my!
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I didn't know you Van Dammed.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Yeah, I Van Damme.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Van Damming is a training exercise based on Jean Claude Van Damme's
0:12:25 > 0:12:27infamous splits,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30except I thought I was the only one at the studio that could do it.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Amanda never ceases to amaze me.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Don't tell me you go to the Jewish community centre.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Tuesdays at 7.30. - Thursdays at eight.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Oh, my goodness.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I'm switching classes? - You can't, mine's full.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Actually, the Goldbergs are going south for the season!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I'm in. I'm there.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47- Perfect.- That is too awesome.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I didn't know you Van Dammed.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52You know, how many seconds can you Van Damme?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54How many seconds can you Van Damme?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- You tell me first.- You tell me first.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Say it together on three.- OK.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00One, two, three.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- 45.- 15, one... 151 seconds.- 151? - Yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05You Van Damme for 151 seconds?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Yeah. Actually I have something more important to talk about.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Yeah, aren't you supposed to be rehearsing with Alfie?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Yeah, I actually just left to go get a drink from Java.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14And why aren't you doing that right now?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Can you stop de-Van Damming?
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Yeah, sorry.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21I just feel strange.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Well, if it's health-related, Noah, I think you should call your doctor.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It's not health-related. I feel exactly the same as I did when the
0:13:28 > 0:13:30doctor cleared me to dance.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33But when I go to dance, I just can't.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It sounds like your brain and your body aren't really on the
0:13:36 > 0:13:39same page right now. Even though your body's ready to dance,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41your brain just isn't ready to trust it yet.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Listen.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46It's natural to feel this way coming off of a big injury.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You're hesitant. I get it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51But the best way to catch your brain up with your body
0:13:51 > 0:13:52is just by doing it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Amanda totally nailed it and now that I know it's all in my head,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm just going to tell my head to shut up and listen
0:13:58 > 0:13:59to my body instead.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24I'm glad I finally got Jude to trust my instincts.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26This is one of the strongest dances I've ever choreographed
0:14:26 > 0:14:28and it's going to be an amazing video.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32I thought I was good.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33But Sloane?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Sloane is really good.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It really worked out and I'm so happy.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42# All I know is I'm the reason for this style
0:14:42 > 0:14:44# But why are you stalling?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48# Is it cos this young boy has been bawling?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51# I know you want a piece but I won't give it up... #
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I think with this dance, I finally have something to show the world.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I can't wait to send the video to LeTroy and show him
0:14:57 > 0:14:59how awesome it is.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Good job.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Of course, of course. And I know everybody's going to love it too.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I'm going to put this online and this is going to be huge.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Mind-blowing. Godzilla loose in Tokyo huge.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Where have you been?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31I've... I've been places.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Ready to dance?- I think that I am.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40- You think?- No, no, no, I know I'm... I am ready.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Good. I changed up the middle a little bit?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- OK.- I'm sure you'll keep up though.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Hi, guys. I don't want history to repeat itself.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48We need to get to the bottom of whether or not Noah
0:15:48 > 0:15:50is truly ready to dance.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52What are you guys doing here?
0:15:52 > 0:15:53I asked them to be here.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Now, this is the best dance The Next Step has ever seen,
0:15:57 > 0:16:02all thanks to this guy. It's strong, it's ferocious, it's exciting.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Noah, are you sure you're ready to dance?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Who, me?- Yeah.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10You know my middle name is I'm pretty sure I'm ready to dance.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- And then some.- OK.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Five, six, seven.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Stop, stop, stop. I can't do this.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28I want to dance but not if it means hurting The Next Step again.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32The truth is I'm not ready.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47I can't dance in the qualifier and I need to tell Emily
0:16:47 > 0:16:49and Riley why not.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I just can't trust myself to be ready in time for the qualifier.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's days away and I need to be rehearsing
0:16:55 > 0:16:56day and night to be ready.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I want to be there for the team.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00But I can't, I'm sorry.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Noah, it's totally fine for you to back out of the duet.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Really?- Of course.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Look if anybody knows what you're going through, it's me.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I had an injury that completely ruined my dance career.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I would never want that for anybody.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16All right. I'm going to start working on my regional dances
0:17:16 > 0:17:17I've been assigned to right away.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I just need to take things a little slower, you know, with no pressure.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Then I'll know for sure by regionals if I'll be
0:17:22 > 0:17:24able to trust myself to dance again.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25That seems like a great idea.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I'm going to need to find the perfect replacement for Noah,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32and soon otherwise The Next Step won't even make it to regionals.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- You wanted to see me?- Yes, I did.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42A real dance captain puts the team above her own desires.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44This was the final test.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Skylar, I want to let you know how impressed I was with you today.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50But I have some bad news.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I have decided to make Richelle dance captain.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55OK. That's a great choice.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58She's an amazing dancer and if that's who you think is best
0:17:58 > 0:18:00for the team, then it sounds good to me.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Thanks for letting me know.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Skylar.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07I was just testing you.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Richelle is not the best option for dance captain.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Someday Richelle will be an amazing dance captain
0:18:14 > 0:18:16but that day's not today.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Skylar is the best choice to lead The Next Step.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22So you're saying?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Congratulations, you are now the dance captain of The Next Step.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Thank you. Thank you, thank you. - OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32When Emily tells me that I'm the new dance captain, I'm in shock.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I never saw this coming.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I actually have something for you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Gisele left this with me before she went on world tour.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46This will help you become the best dance captain you can possibly be.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- What is it?- That is the dance captain diary.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Every dance captain since 1984 has written in it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You can even see a little bit of Miss Kate's writing.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- I won't let you down.- You better not!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I am so proud of myself.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10All I wanted was to make A Troupe this year and now I'm dance captain.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Even though I didn't win dance captain,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I got a great consolation prize.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm going to work really hard to make sure this studio
