Synopsis
Season 2 of The Next Step focuses on A-Troupe competing at the Absolute Dance Nationals. A boy named Hunter from Michelle's past in Wisconsin shows up, attempting to rekindle what he and her "had" back in Wisconsin. Hunter and Emily make plans to destroy Eldon and Michelle's relationship, in order to get back with their desired partners. The Next Step decides to host "The Challenge", an opportunity for dancers from other studios that didn't win Regionals to try out for a spot on a Nationals team.
