Rocky and CeCe have always dreamed of being professional dancers, and when Deuce gives them a flyer to audition for Shake it Up, Chicago, they decide to try out - only CeCe freezes during her solo dance, and doesn't make the show!
CeCe's study habits are atrocious, and if she fails Algebra her mom will take her off Shake it Up, Chicago! Rocky tries to help her to no avail, so CeCe gets a tutor.
CeCe and Rocky sneak out to attend one of Gary's infamous "In Your Wildest Dreams" house parties, but are embarrassed to discover he invited them there to work as waitresses.
