Tara, whose attitude has been influenced by Grace, drunkenly confronts Christian and Kat at the party, and tries to kiss Ben, but ends up throwing up and being given advice by Miss Raine. Before the eventual showdown (at which the second-years win), Ollie and Sammy kiss.

18 "Catch Me If I Fall" Alicia Walsh and
Samantha Strauss 10 April 2012 (2012-04-10) N/A
Ballet teacher Zach wants to get all of the students re-enthused about dancing after the mid-semester break, so he takes them to a circus to help them learn to trust their bodies and "trust each other"; the bonding helps Tara and Kat reunite fully. Sammy announces to his friends that he and Ollie are dating, getting a mostly positive reaction, but was pressured having learnt that Ollie already told his friends; being somewhat "outed", Sammy stresses, initiating an argument and premature split between the two. Christian's dad Raf turns up at the academy and circus hoping to further bond with him, telling him that he will take him to get his learner's license, but later reneges on his offer.
45
19 "The Naturals" Kirsty Fisher 11 April 2012 (2012-04-11) N/A
Abigail, having trouble with Zach's practice, is sought by Finn, the producer of the musical Ethan was initially choreographing, and new director Mistii, who both pretend to be planning to cast a ditzy blonde (Mistii) in the lead role. Even after discovering their ploy, Abigail accepts that the role is suited to her. Grace becomes bored with dancing she considers beneath her natural ability, and seeks Zach out for more complicated practice. Tara looks for a new crush, saying that there are no crush-worthy guys at the school, when Ben kisses her.
46
20 "Tick, Question Mark, Cross" Sarah Lambert 12 April 2012 (2012-04-12) N/A
As a cold goes around at the academy (which Miss Raine, Abigail and Ben have), Abigail discovers an email while waiting in Miss Raine's office that ranks the students' viability for Nationals with either a tick (Tara, Grace and Christian), a cross (Sammy and Abigail) or a question mark in Ben's case, who feels as if this mirrors his life as he waits for the results of his leukemia biopsy check-up. The email, having been sent around, incites the students and angers the teachers. Meanwhile, Sammy is annoyed by criticism from Ollie, Grace is strangely enjoying her intense practice with Zach, and Abigail's ballet teacher mother Anthea arrives at the academy, revealing family troubles and wanting Abigail to dance her old Helen Keller role. Abigail then feels torn between this and her musical role, which she later quits.
47
21 "Ladder Theory" Holly Phillips 16 April 2012 (2012-04-16) N/A
Nationals of the Prix de Fonteyn begin, with tensions running high. Ben tries to psych out Christian, pursuing Tara by asking her out. This leaves Kat feeling left out, but Tara grows closer to Ben (who tells her about his "ladder theory", the step up from friendship that a relationship involves). When Ben kisses Tara in front of Christian right before his solo, it distracts Christian and makes Tara realise Ben was using her. Sammy tries to hide having a boyfriend from his father and brother, who come to watch him dance, so he brings Abigail to lunch. After his performance, they find out the truth but are mostly unfazed. Meanwhile, Abigail chooses the musical over her mother's pressure to compete at Nationals. Tara, Grace, Sammy and a Tasmanian student named Michael Slade (Rarmian Newton) who tried to sabotage Sammy's contemporary solo are all chosen to represent Australia on the International stage.
48
22 "Win or Lose" Josh Mapleston 17 April 2012 (2012-04-17) N/A
The students selected to represent Australia are featured on (fictional) talk show Gav & Lena, with Sammy having a "meltdown", describing the rivalry between himself and Michael, and reenacting his performance as Michael cut the music off to his piece. Grace, whose father cancels his visit to see her perform, tries to kiss Zach, feeling confused after their closeness during practice sessions, leading to her returning to the UK. Christian and Kat argue over his attitude after his failure to make Nationals, and his reckless behaviour as a result (riding off on a motorcycle after learner's training, neglecting his end-of-year production audition). After Ollie is denied a place in the Company, he loses his cool and harshly criticises Sammy, saying they aren't equal in their abilities, leading Sammy to break up with him.
49
23 "Love It or Fight It" Courtney Wise 18 April 2012 (2012-04-18) N/A
Roles for the end-of-year production of Peter Pan are announced, with Christian as Peter, Kat as Tinker Bell, and Abigail as Wendy Darling. Ben goes out of his way to get Tara to like him again, singing and dancing in front of the other students. With Christian's advice, Ben sets up an ice rink on Bondi Beach for her, eventually winning her over. Zach encourages Kat to tap into Tinker Bell's jealous side, which leads her to have an epiphany about Christian. Realising that Christian is still in love with Tara, Kat decides to end their relationship. Abigail decides she needs to take time off from everything (including ballet), and despite visiting Sydney Aquarium with Sammy to "prepare" for a date with Finn, cancels. Sammy and the other students also think about their future prospects.
50
24 "The Prix de Fonteyn" Liz Doran 19 April 2012 (2012-04-19) N/A
The international competitors arrive for the Prix de Fonteyn at the Sydney Opera House as Tara and Sammy go into final preparations. Tara discovers that Grace has returned to represent the UK, and is dancing Tara's Red Shoes solo to prove she's better by winning, which upsets her. Sammy decides to have the others on stage with him despite the rules, but in the end, settles on a video montage accompanying his dance. He asks for Abigail's advice, who loves it; the pair then share a kiss. With the possibility of Tara studying elsewhere and still being in denial about his feelings for her, Christian finally realises how much Tara means to him. Despite her dating Ben, Christian prepares to tell Tara his feelings for her although Sammy advises him not to. After receiving a phone call, Miss Raine tells the students and Christian (who was on his way to the Opera House) that Sammy was hit by a car while out running and died on the way to hospital, leaving everyone in shock and emotional distress. Tara later listens to a voice mail on her phone Sammy had sent her earlier.
51
25 "The Second" Samantha Strauss 23 April 2012 (2012-04-23) N/A
After the second-year students attend Sammy's funeral, Miss Raine announces that the Prix de Fonteyn will be delayed for a week, that the production of Peter Pan is cancelled, and that absences will be excused. Abigail, however, throws herself back into training for a new production, while the others begin to plan a "memorial" to grieve and allow a better chance for closure, as everyone vividly remembers how they met Sammy—Miss Raine, who recognised him from not getting through initial auditions for the Academy; Kat, who helped him forge his dad's signature; and Christian, who met him while breakdancing. Christian fights with Kat, who wants to look at Sammy's laptop to play a song at the memorial, and also with Ollie, over Sammy's cardigan. Tara pulls out from the Prix, while Abigail breaks down during auditions for the production; later, the memorial goes ahead on the beach and Ethan returns to join them. Christian reads a eulogy, as well as a list Sammy wrote of the top 50 things he wanted to achieve, with the first being to make a group of close friends he could have for the rest of his life. The group stays all night at the beach, then in the morning, dance and play with each other in the water to remember Sammy.
52
26 "The Red Shoes" Samantha Strauss 24 April 2012 (2012-04-24) N/A
After everyone celebrates Christian's 18th birthday on Observatory Hill, Abigail convinces Tara to compete in the Prix again, telling her she'll help her practice, while Ben says that he'll take Sammy's place in the competition, as he was third behind Sammy and Michael. Naturally-talented Grace remains in first place until the last day of competition, when contestants perform their solos. Meanwhile, Kat turns up for her first-year exams despite being given a break. Christian visits Tara who invites him back to spend the holidays on the farm despite her dating Ben. Tara confesses that things with Ben are awkward. At the same time Christian's father contacts him and invites him on a road trip during the holiday break to clear his head. Abigail wants Tara to remain focused and to do her Red Shoes solo even though Grace is still going ahead with it. Tara agrees after Abigail convinces her she can do it well. When the final day arrives, Grace's performance is noted by Tara to be "technically and artistically perfect", but Abigail says that she dances without emotion. Tara shows genuine emotion during her performance, imagining Sammy helping her perform, and she receives a standing ovation and emotional responses from everyone, including Grace. Ben, in second place, decides on doing Sammy's piece (with the video montage backdrop), despite choreography having to be approved, and invites his friends onstage. When he finishes, balloons fall down on the group, who embrace, while the judges look bewildered as Zach and Miss Raine also take to the stage. Tara's voiceover concludes the episode by saying that despite Grace winning (and deciding to attend the Academy for third year), it was "never about winning" for her. Christian chooses to spend the holidays motorcycling with his Dad in Tasmania, promising Tara he will return for third year, while Abigail goes to Barcelona with Ethan, and Kat decides to spend her break with Tara on the farm.

Marcus Caine, Ms. Raine's boyfriend while she was a student and company dancer at the Academy, comes to the Academy to help the second year students. He gives them an assignment to study a non-dancer and then reinterpret that person in a dance. Abigail and Christian spend the day together, which inspires Christian to stay at the Academy. Kat takes her second year assignment as an opportunity to study a man named Nick Hesk, who is the driver that hit Sammy in series two. She begins to feel insecure and becomes bulimic. She talks to Nick again and hears his side of the story. In the end, Kat ends up not using Nick as her assignment; she uses herself.

Saskia offers to become Ben's mentor after seeing him and Tara dancing together onstage after a performance of Giselle. While Ben is torn between loyalty to Tara and fast-tracking his career, after a session with Saskia, he starts to feel comfortable with the idea, although Tara suspects Saskia has an ulterior motive. Abigail returns to her classes and she and Christian post Ollie's music video online without permission; Ollie later takes Abigail to a commercial dancer's class to prove she isn't up to standard but it results in Abigail signing on for beginners' classes.

Ollie and Christian clash over Christian changing the choreography and Christian walks off the shoot but Ollie ends up using his ideas. Grace is considered for a place on tour but loses out on both the tour spot and a place in the gala when the girl she was replacing returns unexpectedly. Coupled with the news that Miss Raine is engaged to Marcus, she sabotages the dance outfits with heat cream. Saskia and Ben fill the gap with a performance of the Black Swan but Saskia deliberately falls and runs off stage. Tara joins Ben on stage, repairing their friendship but earning them both Sir Jeffrey's scorn.

6 "Fake It Until You Make It" Greg Waters 12 August 2013 (2013-08-12) N/A
The cast list for the third year's touring show of Romeo and Juliet is posted. Ben is Romeo with Grace as Juliet. Tara plays Lady Capulet, Christian as the Nurse, Ollie as Mercutio, with Abigail playing Benvolio, a minor male part. Tara and Christian are selected to understudy the leads. With the arrival of Wes Cooper, the choreographer for the contemporary piece in the third year tour and Ethan's flatmate from Spain, more of Abigail's vacation is revealed: She had a fling with Wes in Barcelona but feels guilty about dating him so soon after Sammy's death and refuses to audition for his solo piece. Meanwhile, a movie requiring dancers hosts auditions at the academy, with Kat and Abigail auditioning for minor roles. Ollie begins flirting with the male lead of the film. Grace struggles with her feelings about her mother who also had the part of Juliet. Tara, now dating Ben again, tries not to be jealous of him working closely with Grace, but when Tara and Ben go bowling together Grace invites herself and Christian along to cause trouble. Abigail misses rehearsals for the tour to audition for the film. Kat is rejected as a dancer so helps Abigail with her audition, but the director, Gabrielle, seems more interested in her.
59

Zach attempts to enforce discipline on the third years out on tour. Kat begins filming for the movie, in which she has been cast as the lead. She clashes with Jamie, the third assistant director assigned to look after the class, but refuses an offer to have him dismissed and they end up on better terms. Things continue to be tense between Abigail and Wes. A night time game of truth or dare and Ben, Grace and Christian taking part in the traditional "dawn challenge" (in which the contestants have to run naked, collect three items of clothes and photograph themselves by the fountain) results in Grace being arrested and Ben playing sick so Christian can take the part of Romeo after finishing behind him and losing a bet. Despite Ben trying to stick up for her, Grace is sent home, and Zach announces Ben and Christian will alternate, leaving Christian dancing with Tara.
60
8 "Traveling Light" Melina Marchetta 26 August 2013 (2013-08-26) N/A
The tour is on its last stop, at an aboriginal town, and Ben and Tara still have not worked out their chemistry for Romeo and Juliet compared to how Tara and Christian operate. Kat is disappointed when the film hires Grace as her dancing double but the two girls end up bonding over their mutual insecurities. Tara decides to sleep with Ben but they are unable to go through with it, and Tara learns Kat never slept with Christian. The tour attempt to give dance lessons to the local children but Abigail's harsh teaching nearly reduces the girls to tears and Ollie's hip hop lesson leaves the boys unimpressed; Tara and Christian end up taking over and Christian takes an interest in Jayden, a talented boy from a poor family. Abigail, who had been trying to get Wes to give her his solo instead of Tara, tells him she's lost too much that she loves to risk it again but a free-spirited dance and a kiss with Wes seem to change her mind. Ben reads Tara's journal and is annoyed that she talks so much about Christian; Tara is upset that she can't get rid of her feelings for him.
61
9 "Don't Let Me Down Gently" Courtney Wise 2 September 2013 (2013-09-02) N/A
Kat finishes filming her movie and accepts a date with crew member Jamie. After spending a chaste night with Christian and realising she still has feelings for him, Tara breaks up with Ben who has trouble accepting the relationship is over.

Kat is worried about ruining her friendship with Jamie but still kisses him on the dance floor. Abigail becomes paranoid when Wes is rejected for a job at the Company; he offers to get a job in Sydney but she suggests they pursue a long distance relationship.

62
10 "N'Fektd" Liz Doran 9 September 2013 (2013-09-09) N/A

63
11 "Start of an Era" Josh Mapleston 16 September 2013 (2013-09-16) N/A
Christian tells Tara he's ready to commit but she is reluctant and confused after his recent behaviour towards her and wonders if their previous failed relationships are a sign it will never work out. Sir Jeffrey unexpectedly resigns as musical director, leaving Rebecca in charge. Tara's back injury becomes a problem and she is told to take time off from rehearsals; with her audition coming up in a few weeks, she goes to see Saskia, who Rebecca has dismissed from the company, for advice. Saskia convinces her to forget the complex solo Miss Raine assigned her and try the simple but artistic Persephone solo. Kat lands the lead role in Coppélia. Ben and Grace need Kat's help in executing muck-up day and she organises a seaweed fight between the third and second years. Ollie meets Jessica Mauboy, who tells him she is a fan of his music.

64
12 "The Perfect Storm" Samantha Strauss 23 September 2013 (2013-09-23) N/A
Kat attends the premiere of her film, despite being disappointed by a review that called her "clunky", but not all goes smoothly and she trips on the red carpet. Grace misinterprets her time spent with Ben to be more than a friendship and, when Marcus offers her a place at Austin, she tries to use it to pressure Rebecca into taking them on at the Company, leaving Ben accusing her of ruining his chances. When she sees him rehearsing together with Tara, she sabotages Tara's costume. Ollie, doing the cursed Macbeth solo, locks himself in his room on the night of the auditions but is rescued by Kat, Jamie and Rhys, and kisses Rhys before going on stage. Tara arranges for Raf to watch Christian's audition. Ben changes his piece at the last minute but Miss Raine convinces Tara to do the piece she worked on with Saskia. Tara slips on a bead, accidentally left on stage by Grace during her audition, causing serious injury.
65
13 "Not for Nothing" Samantha Strauss 30 September 2013 (2013-09-30) N/A
The Academy students must deal with their professional futures being laid out for them; while some receive Company contracts, most do not. Christian must choose between dancing for the Company or teaching at the Sammy E. Lieberman Memorial Studio for kids who cannot afford a dance education. In the end, he chooses teaching. Tara must come to terms with the fact she may never dance again due to her injury. Kat chooses an acting career after finishing third year.
The episode ends in an open house for Sammy's memorial studio, where the Academy graduates all perform, except for Tara, who has not danced in months. Christian invites her to dance along (within reason of her injury) and he tells her that they'll take things slow, hinting at a possible relationship re-igniting between the two. The reason for Tara's narrative throughout the three series is revealed as her writing a book about her life at the Academy.

1 "The Movie" Samantha Strauss 6 April 2017 (2017-04-06) N/A
Tara is suing the company for negligence over her accident but the new director, Madeline Moncur, invites her to audition instead. Despite training from Christian and Abigail, she is rejected. She heads to New York, where Kat is starring as a fairy in a show, to audition there but faces further rejection. Upset that she left just as they were about to move in together, Christian breaks up with her. After also falling out with Kat, Tara goes to stay with Miss Raine and finds Ben there; his leukaemia has reoccurred and he has just had a stem cell transplant. Tara and Ben choreograph a new piece, "Enoumént", and enter it in the fringe section of the New York festival. Tara is seen performing by Madeline and offered a position in the company, with Ollie taking her place performing with Ben. Abigail is told to train Tara in her solo. Kat is slated by the press after leaking naked photos of herself to try and change her image. Ben collapses during a performance and Tara leaves the theatre to be by his side. The gang reunite at the hospital; Christian also appears and reunites with Tara, while Ben and Kat also get together. Tara resigns from the company. Abigail and Ollie perform Enoumént at the gala with Tara directing. The movie ends with the gang having seemingly set up their own company and academy in the memorial studio, with Tara as choreographer.
