April accepts, beginning a harsh training regimen that alienates the young dancers, including causing Ruby to quit.
The New Hope dance team advances through several rounds of the competition; they improve as April bonds with them, becoming a better teacher, including learning some sign language to communicate with Zuzu.
One day, the dance studio ceiling collapses after April tells the dancers they "don't suck," so they know they are improving.
Once in Atlantic City, after a performance, Welly Wong is so impressed with April he offers her the lead in his new show on the spot.
April performs in Welly Wong's show in NYC and continues teaching her dance class in Wisconsin via video chat.
