Synopsis:

A SHY TEENAGER HAPPENS ON A CLASSMATE DANCING ALONE, AND HER JOY TURNS A KEY, UNLOCKING SOMETHING IN HIS HEART…

Kaboku Kotani is starting high school, and he plans to do what he’s always done: go along with his friends, keep quiet, and not to draw too much attention to himself. After all, it’s hard enough to get by with a stutter like his—why make things worse by standing out from the crowd? But then he sees another first-year, Hikari Wanda, dancing like no one is watching—or like she doesn’t care who sees her. It makes Kaboku wonder: Could he reach that same freedom? To find his way to Wanda, he does something he never thought he could: He joins the dance club. After all, every routine begins with a single step, right?

Join Kaboku and Wanda as they freestyle their way to life and love!

Synopsis:

Kaboku has joined the ranks of his high school's dance club—but can he cut himself footloose and finally let his feelings free through dancing?

Kaboku is settling in at the dance club—in fact, he’s doing so well that he’s one of just a few first-year students chosen to be on the squad that will dance in an upcoming competition. Hikari’s another of the team members, but as they get down to some serious practice, they find themselves confronted by a classmate who didn’t make the cut and wants to know why. In fact, Kaboku isn’t quite sure he belongs on the team, considering his reluctance to dance in front of an audience. His confidence isn’t helped by a chance encounter with the only other male member of the club, Iori Itsukushima. Kaboku thought he was starting strong, but these blows to his morale have him wondering: what does it really mean to dance well? And what does it really mean to dance together?

The moment has come for Kabo and Wanda’s first dance competition. They’ve worked hard and prepared well, but they’ll have to face the best from other schools if they hope to emerge victorious. No matter what happens, there will be lessons they can learn and ways they can improve their dancing, if they’re willing to find them. But that’s not the only kind of competition going down. When Kabo walks into club one day to discover a completely unexpected showdown in progress, the only thing that will surprise him more than who’s having the dance battle is who takes up the gauntlet next!

Synopsis:

Kaboku tries to break further out of his shell with some new dance styles, and he can’t help but wonder: How do you dance like nobody’s watching when everyone’s watching?

Kaboku’s growing confidence as a dancer and his deepening friendship with Iori inspire him to branch out and try breakdancing. He and Wanda head for the park where the local B-Boys practice, and they seem to make a real impression. Gaku Kabeya is the one breaker who seems above it all, and if he acts a little arrogant, maybe it’s because he’s really, really good at what he does. He thinks Kabo has what it takes to be a great breakdancer, but will Kabeya’s history with Iori get in the way of the two of them being friends? And speaking of Iori, On keeps pushing him to be the next club president, but he’s convinced he doesn’t have the chops. Will a chance to share what he knows with some other students help change his mind?

The dance competition continues, with Wanda squaring off against a young man who tries to taunt her into making a mistake. She manages to stand her ground, and the sight of Wanda dancing once again sparks something inside of Kabo that cements how he feels about dancing—and Wanda. As he faces his own insecurities in the contest, Kabo comes to a realization about how he needs to approach his dancing. Will it be enough to save him from defeat at the hands (and feet, and arms, and whirling torsos…) of more experienced dancers? And he’s not the only one who has some soul-searching to do—after being pitted against a talented friend, Iori will have to dig deep and find a style that’s uniquely his own if he wants to step and prove that he has what it takes to challenge Assay…

When it comes to dance battles, the dancers aren’t the only ones out on the floor—pride is also on the line! But sometimes, there’s more than pride at stake in a battle…

The semifinals pit Kabo against Kabeya, challenging the young, inexperienced dancer to confront a street-smart opponent who’s made battling his life’s mission. As if the contest wasn’t lopsided enough, Kabeya adds insult to injury when he taunts Kabo, covering his eyes and refusing to watch him dance. But what’s he really hiding under that mask? Iori, meanwhile, has a serious talk with Assay, and discovers a kindred spirit. He then makes a wager that will put an extra spring in his step as he battles his way through the night, but Iori’s next opponent is looking to take him down a notch. Can dance bridge the gap between styles, worldviews, and former friends?

There’s still the team contest, and it’s going to take everything—and everyone—Ichirin’s got to face down the competition. Then, after Wanda receives a startling offer that could help launch her dance career, Kaboku finds himself struggling between his awe for her and his jealousy—a feeling he’ll have to cope with lest it threaten their friendship.

Kabo dreams of making it big with Wanda, but he’s convinced that the two of them are on different paths in their dancing lives. Will dancing to the beat of their own songs be the key to keeping them in step with one another, or will the duo have to dance their separate ways?

While Wanda pursues a part in Assay’s dance showcase, Kabo will have to decide whether he wants to forge ahead with hip-hop, or if the siren call of breakdancing will make him part of Kabe’s circle. He’d better choose fast though, because there’s an all-B-Boy competition coming up, and Kabe wants Kabo to partner with him—but only if he can polish his breakdancing basics before the battle! Meanwhile, Kabo isn’t the only one facing his own insecurities—On-chan reveals she has her own bouts of self-doubt and shows Kabo her secret to dealing with them. Meanwhile, Wanda throws herself into the showcase, but will she be able to prove herself among Assay’s handpicked dancers, or will she discover that the big star of a backwaters high school is just another face in the crowd when it comes to the wider world of dance?

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Wanda is turning heads at Assay’s showcase practice, and earning more than a little jealousy along the way. But when her fellow dancers see how devoted she is to her craft, they begin to open up to her, and new friendships seem like they could start to bloom…

Speaking of On-chan, being the president of a dance club comes with a lot of pressure, and On-chan is struggling to come up with a solution that will satisfy all her teammates. But is that even possible? Her answers to those questions might surprise even her, and may even chart a path forward for Ichirin. But first, the club will have to cross its biggest hurdle yet—and cope with some of the toughest competition it’s ever faced!
