In the series premiere, the six dancers are introduced to the cameras and the behind-the-scenes chronicles of their careers begin.
No one ever said living a DanceLife would be easy, and that is more than evident to Nolan when he receives an eviction notice from his landlord. On top of struggling to keep his head above water, Nolan is just reentering the competitive world of professional dance after a hiatus caused by drug addiction. Worried that he's not going to make it, Nolan puts in extra effort in when he auditions for a spot on the upcoming Mary J. Blige tour.
While taking a class at the Millennium dance studio, Staci, Blake, Kenny and Jersey stop for a break. When Kenny tells them he got called for a second audition for a Gap commercial, Staci and Jersey admit that they also go callbacks, leaving Blake to wonder why he hasn't.
Celestina struggles to juggle work and her boyfriend. Meanwhile, she and Jersey end up getting a gig with Ashlee Simpson.
Blake hosts a premiere party for his GAP commercial. Meanwhile, Kenny meets up with his girlfriend Ashley Roberts, a Pussycat Doll.
Staci has had a good run in the world of dance but now wants to pursue her ultimate goal of becoming a singer. Putting dancing on hold, she gets some help from Blake, Kenny and Celestina to get the next phase in her life up and going. Together, the group create a music video to go along with Staci's new single.
A frustrated Nolan deals with more downs than ups. Between doing some apartment hunting and having it out with Blake, Nolan reveals to his mom that he's gay. His mom takes it well, but it is hinted that the issue is a bit more stressful with Nolan's father. Jersey auditions for a national commercial for the shoe company Sketchers, and for an Omarion music video. She's thrilled when she is selected for both jobs, but her agent tells her that she will have choose only one, as both jobs take place on the same day. Jersey selects the Sketcher's commercial. Omarion is shown at the music video shoot, and when he receives the news, calls her actions "unprofessional". Jersey's car breaks down, and Blake accompanies her to a Ford dealership where she buys a new car.

Rehersals go well, and Nolan decides to phone his father and invite him to the concert- A final performance for a Gay Pride event. The concert concludes, and Nolan finds his father in the crowd. After returning to LA Nolan and Blake make nice after their past argument- maybe the start of a friendship.
