Ep 18. Betty Bunheads

As Mia continues to heal from her broken ankle, the other students at the National Academy of Dance are preparing for their final exams. The subject of their latest exam is classical dance, and the students are given a unique challenge that forces them to work together in a way they never have before.

While preparing for the exam, the students uncover a surprising fact about Betty, the strict ballet teacher who has been pushing them harder than ever before. Betty has a secret passion for hip hop dancing, and the students are determined to help her live out her dream.

As they work to create a hip hop routine for Betty, the students face their own challenges. Kat struggles to stay focused on the task at hand as she deals with a family crisis, while Tara finds herself drawn to a new student who challenges her in unexpected ways.

Meanwhile, Sammy is determined to prove himself to his father, who has never supported his dream of becoming a dancer. With his father in the audience for the final exam, Sammy puts everything he has into his performance, hoping to finally earn his father's approval.

As the day of the exam arrives, the students come together to support each other and create a show-stopping performance. But will their hard work be enough to impress their teachers and earn them a spot in the next level of the academy?

In "Betty Bunheads," the first season finale of Dance Academy, the students prove that they are capable of anything they set their minds to. With hard work, dedication, and the support of their friends, they are ready to take on whatever challenges come their way.
