The Rebellion is the sixteenth episode of the first season of Big Top Academy. In this episode, the students of Big Top Academy are tasked with creating their own circus acts to perform in front of a live audience. However, not everyone is happy with the traditional circus acts that are expected of them.
When Skye creates a modern dance routine instead of a typical circus act, she is met with resistance from the other students and her teacher. She feels as though she is not being true to herself and wants to rebel against the traditional circus expectations. With the help of her friends, Skye starts a rebellion against the rigidity of the circus world.
Meanwhile, Nicholas challenges Ben to a juggling competition. Ben has always been the best at juggling, but lately, Nicholas has been catching up and Ben is feeling the pressure. The two put on an impressive show, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.

In the end, all of the students come together to put on a fantastic circus show that combines traditional acts with modern twists. Skye's dance routine steals the show and her teacher is forced to recognize her talent and creativity.
