A-Troupe Votes Between Richelle and Summer's Choreography

"We want you to dance the choreography you think is best."

After Richelle (Briar Nolet) changes the Dancemania audition choreography behind the back of dance captain Summer (Sage Linder), they agree to let A-Troupe decide for themselves by joining whichever dance they feel is stronger... with some surprising results that will effect the team permanently.

i think summer will agree richelle is better dance cptain, or crazy guess but may leave tns

[OllieJack]

I felt soo bad for summer, but richelle is better dance captain but I felt soo bad for her xx

[asameow]

This reminds me of season 1 between Michelle and Emily's choreography they chose Michelle's and I feel like eldons situations was Henry's right there🤣

[tnsemma]

I feel so bad for Summer but the team have to do what’s best for them

[despoinaxenaki]

I feel disappointed for Summer but Richelle is clearly the best dance captain for the team she deserves this so so much ❤️

[boycookzy]

I think heath cliff will take summer place in the routine as summer doesn’t want to be around her team after what happened

[nankyermicahumaru]

I know summer feels betrayed but richelles was better they all need to think about what's best for the team summer can't make hard decisions or correct people Richelle can she doesn't think about peoples feelings as much as summer does with their own unique strengths they both do make brilliant dance captains (I love tns ❤❤❤)

I was waiting all week to see if piper would tell Finn how she felt but looks like I’m waiting another week lol 😂

[jabudakka]

Richelle deserves to be dance captain so they might do a vote or summer leaves tns I hope not though

[Wino]

Richelle got this dance in the bag plus all season she wanted to be dance captain all her life soo she can do this I love Richelle and I love summer and everyone else on A-Troupe plus summer is a bit nice she can also be mean sometimes just to make it better I love this season and this show

[jenna]

Tbh, Summer was my favourite character in season 6. She was happy and optimistic and just generally a good person, plus her dancing was great. As much as I love Richelle, I can't help but feel my heart break for Summer.

[melia]

I feel we're gonna have new co-captains this season !!

[oshane]

I don’t like the way Summer confronted Richelle.... She could have clearly said her dance was great but didn’t ask for permission or didn’t run the changes by her before changing the entire thing. Richelle was more in the wrong than Summer, but in almost every situation Richelle is obviously too stubborn....

[DM-jhec]

So sad for summer.
Richelle is the best choreographer and good dance captain.

[thenextstep]

What do you think will happen next?
Next episode comes out Wednesday March 4th at 5PM GMT on BBC iPlayer!

This reminds me a lot of s1 when they had to choose between michelle or emily

[piperdancer]

What the team did to Summer was really cold.

[vidalbeta]

Okay I think everyone is completely unfair! Summer put her all heart & soul to be the best captain she could ever be while Richelle is only focused on winning. The team betrayed Summer first so I completely agree with her decision. Richelle is by far the best dancer but I don’t think she’ll be able to be a good dance captain without Summer . They should definitely be co-captains
