Back at the studio Jane finally walks into the dance studio and sees everyone trying to read a letter. The girl who got the letter rips it open and reads the contents. This is the letter that informs them that their dance studio has been accepted to be a participant in a tournament that is a little more than a week away. They all cheer and celebrate their acceptance into the tournament, as Jane sees Fung walking away from the dance studio.
