While working, he peers in on a dance class and meets Nora Clark (JennaDewan), a student preparing for her "senior showcase", an auditionperformance which could determine whether or not she is offered a job withinany one of the professional dance companies to attend the performance. When Macand Skinny pay Tyler a visit on the school'slot, Nora curiously watches from a window as Tyler dances with his friends, mockinglyincorporating a mashup of break-dance and the ballet moves he has recentlyobserved. When Nora's dance partner, Andrew (Tim Lacatena), sprains an ankle,Nora finds herself unexpectedly without a partner for her routine. Auditioningsome sophomore students to replace him, she decides that none meet herexpectations. Tyleroffers to help, but Nora refuses. After demonstrating that he can handle theroutine however, Nora reconsiders and convinces Director Gordon (RachelGriffiths) to allow Tylerto rehearse with her. During their initial practice session, Tyler is antagonistic towards Nora as well asher boyfriend, Brett (Josh Henderson), both of whom respond with haughtyattitudes. As they continue to rehearse, Tyler and Nora grow closer, eachteaching the other about their respective styles of dance. Tyler also befriends a musician at the schoolnamed Miles Darby (Mario), who has a crush on Nora's friend, Lucille"Lucy" Avila (Drew Sidora).
As Nora's bondwith Tylergrows, one day, she takes him to a special spot on the waterfront, near acompany for which her late father used to work, revealing that this is whereshe first envisioned her routine. She confesses to Tyler that she had always imagined it as anensemble dance, rather than a duet. Tylerbecomes inspired to help her dream come true and begins recruiting youngerdancers from the school to perform in her number. Brett signs a recording dealwith a company, but in doing so, betrays his friend, Miles, to get theopportunity. Disgusted by his betrayal, Nora breaks up with Brett. Meanwhile, Tyler continues toattempt a balance between his new goals, his new friends, and nurturing atroubled relationship with his old ones.
Tyler asks Director Gordon if she will let him attend theschool, and she advises that he must prove to her that he deserves a chance.Upon hearing this from Tyler,Nora suggests that the showcase could also be used as his entrance audition.After dancing together at a club where Miles and Lucy perform, Tyler and Norafinally move forward with a romantic relationship. Rehearsals continue asnormal, until Andrew returns seemingly healed from his injury. Tyler feels that he is no longer needed inthe routine, and angrily accuses Nora of treating him the same way herex-boyfriend treated Miles. He leaves the group and returns to janitorial work,his initial community service at the school. In the course of the training,Nora has been incorporating many of Tyler'ssuggestions for the routine, and finds that the new choreography is now muchtoo difficult for the original partner to perform. Whilst in one of theirpractice sessions, Andrew falls over and, realizing he can not cope with the dance,resigns himself from the routine, and Nora is, once again, left without apartner. Crushed, she considers abandoning her dance career and going tocollege after all, but Nora receives an emotional confession and strongencouragement from her mother, who once opposed her future in dance. Noratransforms the choreography into a solo piece.
