## Lyrics

Why do grown-ups always tell us we're young for this?

They should be confident, by our confidence

That we can do whatever we want

And you can come along

I will fight for you if you want me to, ooh

Daddy told me I could be a superstar

If I wanted to

If I could stay away from all the distractions

And work, oh work

You tell me not to worry about it

I live without it

Can't get your love back, can get my love back

And I don't know, don't know it end to us after that

Kiss Kiss

Wrapped up in the bliss

Justin

**Justin** is a student at Keaton School of the Arts , who is studying in the Dance Program.

## Keaton School of the Arts

Justin is in the same dance class as Vanessa, Carly, Sasha, and Jenna. While Justin doesn't typically get the spotlight, he adds a lot of substantiality to the overall performance of the class. Justin is typically found in the background of all the drama and social disputes, but he does get some taste of the action once in a while, such as dealing with Denzel's troubling leadership issues in the episode "Lead the Way" (S1E28). This episode is also the first time we learn of Justin's name.

## Personality and Experiences

Justin is a complete savage that does not care about what others think of him and his dancing, especially Jenna and Denzel. In the episode "After the Flood", Jenna has a public callout of her peers. While Justin failed to become a victim of her roast, he appeared to be unfazed and continued his pre-class stretches. Later in the year, Justin acts as a background dancer for Denzel''s music video for the Keaton Open House. Justin is publicly ridiculed at rehearsal for the video when Denzel tells him to "slow it down." After giving Denzel a threatening glare, he backs down. Clearly, Justin lives in the moment, he doesn't look forward to his full potential, but he also doesn't slack off. Ms. Helsweel never gives him a shot at performing a solo in a piece or even a duet for that matter, but Justin never lets that get to his head. He accepts his spot in the class and never questions his own value. Aside from Ms. Helsweel, the judgements of others mean nothing to him. No one, in that case, really means anything to him. Dance is his life, but maybe that's not the life he truly wants.

Mixing It Up

This article contains spoilers from Season 1B (unreleased in Canada) and/or Season 2. If you don't want to learn what happens, **do *not* read on**.

## Credits

### Director

RT!

**"Mixing It Up"** is the fourteenth episode of Season 2 of *Backstage* and the 44th episode overall. Air date is yet to be announced.

## Synopsis

Scarlett tries to save the CAMDA mixer with help from Vice President George. Vanessa struggles with Ms. Maria's choreography. Jax says goodbye to a close friend.

## Plot

The new Prima Crew is not improving toward their goal for CAMDAs. As Vanessa and Mindy are currently being mentored by Maria, who coaches Tumpane Tours, Keaton's main competitor, Carly suggests Vanessa get hold of Tumpane's choreography plans to gain an advantage. Vanessa refuses to resort to such tactics, but Mindy takes photos of Tumpane's notes while Maria takes a phone call. To play fair, Vanessa decides to give Keaton's choreography notes to Tumpane, which leads Cassandra to take a vote on whether to retain the Prima Crew or return to the original Primas for the CAMDA finals.

While getting supplies to set up for a CAMDA mixer party, Scarlett runs into Aidan again. She is still not interested in dating him, but Aidan sets the record straight by telling her that his break-up with Cassandra had nothing to do with her.

Kit has decided to leave Keaton but is afraid to tell Jax. Bianca, discontent over seeing her go, ends up revealing the news in front of Jax before he hears it from Kit. Devastated at first, Jax assures Kit that they will still be friends, even if they are no longer classmates.

Friends First

**Friends First** is a song from Season 2.

## Lyrics

You shared all your secrets and I set them all free

The look on your face says, "I'm only helping me"

And I can be blind

And that is my curse

Now I know I saw from those who matter most

Friends first

Friends first

When the seconds count

Friends first

When the tension's mild

When your turn is up and the chips are down

Couldn't see before, I get it now

Friends first

Friends first

Loving you more than a song or a grade

I know and accept all the mistakes I've made

'Cause you are my future and you my past

This won't be the only and it won't be the last

Friends first

Friends first

When the seconds count

Friends first

When the tension's mild

When your turn is up and the chips are down

I was missing something, but I get it now

Friends first

Friends first

Friends first

You shared all your secrets and confided in me

I thought I was helping by setting them free

I trusted too much

Maybe that is my curse

And I saw your face and it tore me apart

Friends first

Friends first

When the tension's mild

When your turn is up and the chips are down

On the same team once but I get it now

Friends first

Friends first

Why don't you care that you threw my heart on the flour

Now I'm moving on

Walking out the door

Friends no more

Friends first

When the seconds count

Friends first

When the tension's mild

When your turn is up and the chips are down

Once BFF's but I guess not now

Friends first

Friends first

Friends first

## Lyrics

I'm helpless

Overpowered

I swear you hit me at a hundred miles an hour

I stoked the fire and turned the flame

We crash and burn and do it all again

You're reckless

No mercy

I can't resist it, even though I know it hurts me

So roll the dice and play the game

I'm lost in love with no one else to blame

I'm falling down

I'm falling for you know

So catch me, love, before I hit the ground

I know we've crossed the line

When your heart beats just like mine

And every star will fall in line

When your heart beats just like mine

And all our stars align

Elevator

"**Elevator**" is a song that Scarlett writes and sings, as part of her project that also includes Kit and Denzel as the producers.

## Lyrics

Oh, love, you can't control it

Just blow on the dice and roll it

You've got it better than anybody ever

And there ain't no way you can stop

Maybe you got a dollar

Maybe you've got nothing, baby

You can stop fishing, your girl's on a mission

And you know she's going straight to the top

I need love

To take me higher

Rising above

All of the haters hating, there's no sense waiting

Elevator

Straight to the top floor

I've been walking these halls for too long

Looking for my elevator

So you can call me Miss Daisy

'Cause love, you drive me crazy

And I'll be in the band in back with my f-riends

Coming up out of my shell-ell

Maybe I'll give you a dollar

Maybe I'll give you nothing, baby

I like a dollar, something in the water

Take it to another level

I need love

To take me higher

Rising above

All of the haters hating, there's no sense waiting

Elevator

Straight to the top floor

I've been walking these halls for too long

Looking for my, looking for my

Elevator

Straight to the top floor

I've been walking these halls for too long

Looking for my elevator

Oh, you can love it or lose it

So, give me all your love

Gotta give me all your love

Oh, love it or lose it

So, give me all your love

You gotta give me all your love

Elevator

Straight to the top floor

I've been walking these halls for too long

Looking for my, looking for my

Elevator

Straight to the top floor

I've been walking these halls for too long

Looking for my

Elevator

Straight to the top floor

I've been walking these halls for too long

Looking for my, looking for my

**Carly**: She sure did.
**Helsweel**: Need I remind you, this school has a zero tolerance policy for fighting. Since you girls insisted on wasting my time, I'll waste yours. Dance drill detention, everyday this week. And Ms. Morita, I expect better from a former Prima.

Mianca

**Mianca** is the non-canon pairing between Miles and Bianca.

## History

In "Dig Deeper" Bianca seems to have developed a one-sided friendship for Miles. Recently Bianca seems to view Miles as a good friend.

## Moments

### "Friend or Foe"

* Bianca, seeing how hard Alya and Jax are taking Miles' surgery, offers help writing a song. She's also very emotional over the transplant.
* Bianca is trying hard not to think about the fact that Miles is in surgery, but then breaks down in tears after dwelling on it for no more than a few seconds. She really, genuinely cares about Miles.
* Alya states "[Miles] means something to all of us," when talking to Bianca and Jax.
* Miles reaches out to hold Bianca's hand.

### "We"

In "We," Bianca sees miles playing guitar on the field during a morning run. She remarks that he's at school early. She proceeds to question what he's thinking about, and he replies, "Nothing." She thinks this is ridiculous, and Miles realizes that he can't just get her to leave him alone. He says that it's complicated, and Bianca worries about his kidney. Miles explains that, no, it's not his kidney that's bothering him. It's the almost-kiss he had with Julie. Before, Miles would've *never* trusted Bianca with this information. But, now, he even trusts her to give him advice. This scene is cut short when Bianca gets a call-back about her audition in LA.

## Lyrics

When all your fears begin to come true

And everyone has turned their back on you

Close your eyes and reach for the sky, yeah

You're breathless and you're weightless

They can say all the things that they want

And believe whatever they taunt

They're not the mirror on your wall

They didn't make you, they can't break you

This feeling that comes on

It's all you ever wanted

What keeps you moving forward

Is knowing what you started

The beating of the drum, it's never gonna stop

Playing its rhythm for you

And the beating of your heart, it's only gonna start

Lifting you up on through

No matter where you roam

This is your home

And these doors are open for you

The beating of your heart, it's never gonna stop

Playing its rhythm for you

Wanna feel it, I can't explain it

I need to know how

But you keep erasing the things I'm chasing

I'm tryna find out

Under the twilight

Changing the midnight

A breathless something erasing too

There's an answer

Written in cursive

I'll do whatever it takes

I know I can't change it or rearrange it

I want to show

I can never have enough

I can never have enough

When all your fears begin to come true

And everyone has turned their back on you

Close your eyes and reach for the sky, yeah

You're breathless and you're weightless

This feeling that comes on

It's all you ever wanted

What keeps you moving forward

Is knowing what you started

The beating of the drum, it's never gonna stop

Playing its rhythm for you

And the beating of your heart, it's only gonna start

Lifting you up on through

No matter where you roam

This is your home

And these doors are open for you

The beating of your heart, it's never gonna stop

Playing its rhythm for you

## Trivia

## Credits

"**Lead the Way**" is the 28th episode of Season 1 of *Backstage*.

## Synopsis

Denzel and Scarlett try to make a new concept for the music video. Jax and Bianca go on their first date. Carly finds out Sasha and Vanessa kissed.

## Plot

Denzel struggles as the director of his music video as his vision is not coming across clearly to his dancers. His unclear commands such as "Rachel, maybe we need to pick up the pace. But also, Justin, maybe we need to slow it down...Whatever feels right," makes it hard for the dancers to perform the way he wants. As Denzel sees the job as being the boss, Scarlett encourages him to approach it differently, being more a leader than the boss. The change results in better communication with his dancers.

Bianca is ready to date Jax but suffers a setback in planning it. Park catches her taking a phone call about a reservation during class, leading to her phone being confiscated plus detention. Jax salvages Bianca's effort by finding a way to join her in detention for their date.

The open house is nearing, but ticket sales are falling short of expectation, particularly for a fundraiser being held by Vanessa, Carly, Jenna and Sasha to help pay for what was lost or damaged due to the fire sprinklers. As they prepare to attract more people from a bigger venue, a new mysterious text pops up, this time exposing Vanessa and Sasha's kiss to everyone at Keaton. While the text upsets the two and Carly, Sasha realizes his deleted TMK blog account is being hacked, later discovering Jenna is behind it, and those texts.

## Synopsis

Julie is consumed with guilt over cheating on her PSATs. A musical roots assignment hits an emotional nerve with Scarlett. Carly's insecurities about her dancing get the better of her.

## Plot

Maria gives Vanessa the responsibility of choreographing a dance for Carly, Sasha and Jenna. When Carly is directed to assume the stance of a rock, lacking any kind of dancing, she questions what Vanessa is doing. Despite the two's severed friendship, Maria advises Carly to trust Vanessa's abilities as a choreographer. Later, Vanessa finds out her ankle has healed enough for the cast to be removed.

When Scarlett receives an assignment to write a song which connects to her musical roots, she struggles with it because she is unsure whether her birth parents had anything to do with those roots. Kit reminds her that their adoptive parents are a huge influence in where they both are in music.

When Principal Durani wants to talk to Julie regarding the PSAT, she becomes uncomfortable and decides to tell Denzel what she did to clear her conscience.
