Episode 1 – "Auditions"
The life of an up-and-coming dancer can be rough, especially when you have yet to get your foot in the door. There's buzz that a big audition for a Jennifer Lopez project is coming up, and everyone's life comes to a halt when they get a phone call inviting them to the try-out.
The competition level at the audition is high, and the atmosphere is nerve-wracking as the choreographers begin to warm up hopeful candidates. The room goes silent when J-Lo enters with Marc Anthony on her arm. J-Lo encourages the dancers to push their moves to the limits, but to refrain from hurting themselves. After several cuts, many hours have passed, and the candidates have diminished considerably. J-Lo is eventually able to narrow her male search down to two dancers: Kenny, a new dancer imported to L.A. from Boston, and Blake a cocky more established dancer.
