It is the first day at Keaton for a group of ninth graders, including dance students and best friends Carly and Vanessa, and music students Jax, Miles and Alya.

Carly and Vanessa meet a tenth grader, Sasha, a dance student who has taken their teacher Helsweel's class before and helps the two freshmen get through their first day with Helsweel. After the dance auditions, Helsweel selects Vanessa to train with the Primas, an elite group of fourth-year dance students. Meanwhile, Alya's late arrival to class prompts music teacher Park to choose her to showcase her singing, but she freezes and it leads a fellow student, Bianca, to quickly pass judgment on her.
