Upon arrival Luke explains to Moose the details of the compound in which he lives. The main floor houses a dance club where those that live upstairs can show off their dance moves and upstairs houses the Pirates, Luke's dance crew, and also operates as their training facilities. The house was previously owned by Luke's parents and it was also used to house dancers but as Luke's second in command informs him they are behind our their mortgage payments. As look explores the other Pirates explain that the dancer Moose faced off with was from the House of Samurai and he would surely be challenged again.

After a game of cat and mouse Luke closes in and takes to Natalie about his dance crew however the pair are interrupted when the House of Samurai and the leader of the Samurai's Julian, a former Pirate and friend of Luke. At the end of the night Natalie and Moose agree to join the Pirates despite the fact that Moose will have to balance school, dance, and maintaining a relationship with his childhood friend Camille.

Luke discovers that Natalie is Julian's sister and if the Pirates don't win the World Jam Julian will buy the Pirates compound. The eviction pushes some of the Pirates to the breaking point and they quit to join House Samurai and in a last ditch effort to gain back Camille's trust Moose dances with her and ask her to help his friend win World Jam. They recruit dancers from a dance crew back home and get them to join the Pirates. While practicing a the new dance studio in the back of an arcade Julian offers the Pirates' compound back to Luke free of charge if the Pirates back out of World Jam. Luke refuses.
