Freshman year at New York Company Ballet brings back the Tutu Much gang as Lori, Meaghan, Zel and Paige struggle to balance friendships, ballet and…boys. Introducing Yasmin, a tough cookie with killer technique and attitude to match and Yuri a foreign exchange student whose lack of passion might end her career before it starts.

“You can choose greatness or mediocrity. Either is within your grasp. But it’s up to you. You have to make the choice.”

Will the dancers succeed or will this new obsession be the turning pointe?
