Ever since Bethany was a young girl, she struggled to voice what she wanted and who she wanted to be. Only on the odd times would she let her parents know what she wanted, and the only time her parents really heard her was the time she told them she wanted to dance.

Watching dancing videos on the internet is what she spent most of her time doing, instead of playing outside like any other normal kid, she opted to stay inside and try to practice the moves she saw on the screen.

Thankfully, her parents had heard enough of the constant noise coming from the young blondes room, they knew it wasn't safe once they saw the constant bruises that would cover over her legs.

They realised that putting her into a dance team was the only thing that would put their minds at peace, if she learnt the proper way then she wouldn't end up breaking a leg in her bedroom. So they did, they placed her in a studio not to far from their home in Atlanta, Georgia.

For years Bethany improved on her skills at Georgia Atlantic Dance Company and became the amazing dancer she was today, through her years she entered and won several competitions on different occasions.

Life was going great for her up until that dreadful moment when her family told her that they had to move to America due to her fathers transfer.

Even though she was going to miss dancing with her old team, she realised that she was going to be moving to the city in which the newly internationals winners home studio was, The Next Step, and thankfully they were holding auditions and she was going to make sure she would be there.

For weeks on end she had thought about the moment leading up to the one she was in right then, walking up the stairs that lead into The Next Step studio for the open house they were holding.

To say she was nervous was an understatement, she was hoping that there was more new people that would be auditioning for a spot, she had a feeling there would be seeing as this was the best studio in the world right now.

She heard music coming from one of the studios as she walked down the long hallway and being the nosey person she was, she decided to walk in to see what was going on.

Bethany stopped at the side once she saw a petite blonde dancing in the middle of the room and to say she was a beautiful yet powerful dancer was an understatement, she was definitely the strongest dancer she's ever seen.

If this was the level that she had to live up to to be able to get into The Next Step then she had no idea what her chances would turn into.

Bethany turned her head to the right to see another blonde walk in and stand right beside her, both of them watching the girl dance.

"Hey, I'm Cassie." The blonde whispered towards Bethany, not wanting to speak to loud that she took over the music.

"Oh, hey." Bethany smiled. "I'm Bethany but I normally got my Beth."

Cassie nodded her head and was about to ask another question before another girl, a brunette, walked into the studio and smiled to the two girls.

"Hi, I'm Amy." She greeted them both.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Cassie." The blonde replied to her.

"And I'm Bethany but I go by Beth." She gave a slight wave towards her.

"Do you guys go here?" Amy asked as she looked back to the girl dancing in the middle of the studio.

"No, I'm actually auditioning for A-troupe this year." Cassie replied and Amy nodded her head before looking over to Bethany.
