Renowned Canadian series, The Next Step, returns with its season 5 episode 3 titled "Sing". The episode, as hinted by its title, dwells majorly in the sphere of music and dance, with the A-Troupe being given a unique challenge that places them in a musical showdown.

The episode opens with the studio having gone all musical-crazy, with Tango and its sidekicks attacking their guitar strings, and choosing acoustics over the usual electronic beats. The music flows out of the studios, and the A-Troupe can't help but connect with the tunes on a deep level. The atmosphere is electric, akin to the thrill that permeates among athletic teams before a game.

However, the musical atmosphere is not the central focus of the episode. There is a new challenge in town, and only the best will emerge victorious. The A-Troupe and B-Troupe are pitted against each other in a showdown that has a musical twist. And a new face enters the picture, adding a whole layer of complexity to the already challenging competition.

With their sights set on winning, the A-Troupe begins to prepare for their musical routines. To do this, they dive deep into the labyrinths of music, striving to find their individual sound. As they delve deeper, the group unearths a fundamental truth; they can only stand out as one if they all work together to bring their diverse strengths to the table.

Apart from this, we also get to see some serious personality development on the part of the group's key members. Relationships are challenged, and divisions are conquered before the group emerges victorious for the performance of their lifetime.

The episode's main strength lies in its ability to show the different members of the team learning to own their beats. Each member has a unique style and individual sound, which they must harness to play their strengths in the showdown. The group is a united force with each member playing their part. This makes them a singing, dancing machine, which threatens to take the trophy home easily.

Another standout feature of the episode is the creative choreography. The group must come up with elaborate routines that embrace the soul of the music. They use a combination of routines reminiscent of the 70s and modern-day theatrical stunts easily surpassing the expectations of the judges. The dance moves encompass various musical styles all infused with the young dancers' signature contemporary touch, transporting the audience to a whole new level of performance.

The episode's visual quality is unquestionable. The vibrant costumes and the breathtaking choreography, mixed with the pleasant melody of the guitar strings, create a sensory explosion that captivates the audience. The sounds, though familiar in some ways, are also unique, and every move from the dancers is deliberate, polished, and perfect. It's an epic battle that keeps viewers on the edge of their seat.
