==Synopsis==
Dancing has always been part of the human and fairy societies since prehistoric times. The kids in Sideview Beach are practicing for the forthcoming middle school prom, while in Butterfly Trails, many butterfly fairies compete in a dancing competition, but the trolls decide to ruin the fun by playing loud music on stage!
==Plot== 
Today, Spike is participating at the World Junior Dancing Championship in Butterfly Trails. He told his family that he is competing at the dancing competition with his friend Courtney.
Meanwhile in the Floral Showgrounds, Rose and Petunia are practicing with their friends for tomorrow's school prom in the gazebo.
Rose dances to a classical piece by Mozart, while Petunia shows off her dance skills. The kids are impressed with their dance moves. The kids soon gather up and dance to an Irish melody.
Celia wants to make a perfect choreograph for the prom, but the other kids objected this, as they wanted to have dance in their own way.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the troll guards are playing with at the courtyard. The loud music disturbs the monarchs, who are trying to read the charters. King Boogieman and Queen Peregia went to the troll guards to scold them. One of the troll guards told the monarchs that they were just checking out the instruments, then Peregia said it was too noisy for them to read, then another troll guard said they are going to play at a concert, which give the trolls an idea to ruin an event.
Meanwhile at the ballroom in the Butterfly Trails High School, the butterfly fairies are dancing to a glittering waltz. The troll guards sneak in the ballroom and mess with the record player. They change the song to a hard rock number, confusing the dancers. 
The kids are having a break from all that dancing. Rose is eating her tuna sandwich and Petunia enjoys a slice of chocolate cake. The magic flower in Rose's handbag glows and Rose tries to find it, but she realized that she left it in her bag and picks it up. She tells Petunia to join her visiting Butterfly Valley.
The twins went to Butterfly Valley using the magic flower and try to find the directions to Butterfly Trails. They decide to ask some butterfly fairies for directions and they found their way to Butterfly Trails.
They head to the Ballroom under permission from the manager. They found the troll guards playing hard rock music at the end stage. Rose uses her telepathic spell to make the trolls refrain from playing music and Petunia makes them dance to an old Russian polka tune with her manipulating spell.
The troll guards are sent all the way back to the Troll Kingdom, where King Boogieman notice them dancing unusually. He enjoys their "performances" and even follow their moves, but Queen Peregia stopped him.
The dancing competition concluded with the announcement of the results. Spike and Courtney won first place, while Tinka and Fabian are runners-up.
The next day, the kids participate at the school prom at Sideview Beach Middle School, where Chip tries to dance like Michael Jackson to the point when he tries to moonwalk, he accidentally bumps to a young girl in a red dress. Chip instantly felt affectionate to the girl, but she ignores him as she was dancing with another boy.
Chip tries to get the girl to his attention, but she continues to dump him for his actions, until when Chip tries to do a fancy walk, he trips over another girl Sam is dancing with, causing him to unintentionally kiss her cheek. The girl said "Well, I didn't meant to feel bad for you, but I’m sorry for what I've done." She finally dumps the boy she was dancing with over Chip. The boy, whose name is revealed to be Timmy, decides to dance with a then-lonely Jessa.
The kids return to the community park. They discuss the highlights of school prom, including the moment where Chip bumped to a girl in a red dress, by which he found his first true love. The girl returns from the prom and the kids are shocked. Her name is revealed to be Asmyra. The kids realized this and befriend her as the episode ends.
