Michelle

Michelle is is a contemporary dancer. She was the new girl at the studio and just wanted to fit in and make new friends. Emily and her became co-captains and friends but their friendship was short-lived

Earning Her Spot
Michelle tries to earn her spot in A -Troupe by being herself, but she can't. So she tried to impress Emily by sneaking into the Elite studio, The Next Step's rival, and taking a video of their dance practice. Unfortunately, she gets caught and ends up being ditched by Emily and everybody else, so they wouldn't get caught too. However, Michelle tells the Elite troupe that she is there to audition for their studio, and pulls together a routine. Later, when she is secretly recruiting A-Troupe members to join her routine to show Ms. Kate, people begin to realize that she has good ideas and always includes people. In the end, only 1 person (Stephanie) voted for Emily to be dance captain; the rest of A-Troupe voted for Michelle. Later on, Michelle got Emily back to the studio. The two of them become Co-Captains. When Hunter arrived at The Next Step, him and Emily came up with a plan to break them up so Hunter could date Michelle and Emily could date Eldon, it worked but now they like eachotherr instead. Michelle now thinks The Next Step isn't her home anymore.
