Looking forward to learning new steps and donning a fancy new outfit on her first day of jazz class, Mia is disappointed by her drab jazz shoes and devises a creative way to match her ensemble to her jazzy dance routine.
Offering extra help to a newcomer in Miss Bird's dance class, Mia and Ruby are frustrated by Sara's determination to put her own spin on every dance move, a preference that introduces the girls to new ideas about creativity and individuality.
Delighted to be asked by Miss Bird to help during a little dancers' class, an exuberant Mia observes that the little ballerinas in her charge have difficulties performing steps, a challenge that prompts Mia to devise a clever solution.
