Members of the cast include:
Victoria Baldesarra as Michelle (Lead) The new girl that is just trying to find a way to fit in. She becomes dance captain in the season 1 finale after she stands up to Emily and when she shows Kate her dance. She may or may not have a crush on Eldon, who is completely oblivious, even though she has shown him exceptional kindness multiple times after he gets turned down by Emily.
Alexandra Beaton as Emily (Lead) Head of the E-girls and is the former dance captain of the A-troupe who often insults Michelle and is always rejecting Eldon until he impresses her with his dancing. She treats the dancers with very little respect and in the season 1 finale comes so far as to scream insults at the top of her lungs to the whole A-Troupe. She gets overthrown as dance captain by 8/10ths of A-Troupe in the season 1 finale.
Brittany Raymond as Riley (Lead) A contemporary dancer and Emily's younger sister. In the beginning she was a member of the E-girls but gets kicked out when she stands up to Emily. She has mixed feelings for james, which she realises more and more while planning to overthrow Emily as dance captain with him.
Trevor Tordjman as James (Season 1-Lead, Season 2-Recurring) An easy-going, "cool" break dancer who has trouble with math. He later becomes closer with Riley as he plots to overthrow Emily as dance captain with her. He has apparently dated many girls. He becomes the understudy for Daniel in Can You Keep a Secret? for finishing 2nd in the studio competition to perform a solo at regionals, but fails a math exam in the season finale and learns he can't continue at the studio. He becomes a recurring character in season 2.
Isaac Lupien as Eldon (Lead) A contemporary dancer who is obsessed with Emily. In the season 1 finale he realises he needs to move on from her after she humiliates him one too many times.
Brennan Clost as Daniel (Main) A ballet and contemporary dancer who can't stand drama. Although he has good technique, he has the hardest time when it comes to stage presence when it comes to dancing. He injures his ankle in Can You Keep a Secret? after he wins the right to perform a solo at regionals.
Samantha Grecchi as Stephanie (Main) A jazz dancer and Emily's best friend. Her parents aren't very supportive of her dancing career and she relies on Emily for encouragement. She wants to be famous and because of her rich parents absence, relies mostly on Kate for that kind of advice, and sees her sort of as a "mother figure". She is the main saboteur of season 1, committing almost all the sneaky acts to defend Emily as dance captain. She is the only member of A-Troupe who sticks by Emily when they are forced to choose in the season 1 finale.
Lamar Johnson as West (Main) A calm, easy-going, hip-hop dancer. He hates drama, and while he doesn't always share his opinion, when he does most people are often confused by it. He rarely makes sense, but uses this to his advantage in multiple instances to get out of sticky situations.
Jennifer Pappas as Chloe (Main) A ballet dancer whose parents can't afford her dancing at the studio. She has to work a part-time job while being a member of A-troupe as well as an E-girl. As season 1 progresses, she becomes less and less of an E-girl until things eventually boil over and she secretly joins Michelle's group until Stephanie catches the group rehearsing and sees Chloe with them. In the season 1 finale she sides with Michelle, and seems to show no remorse for it.
Tamina Pollack-Paris as Tiffany (Main) An upbeat hip hop dancer and member of E-girls. She has been shown to be a great actress. In the season 1 finale, when everyone is forced to choose who they want as dance captain, she sides with Michelle to cover herself, shocking Emily and Stephanie, and possibly costing her her spot as an E-girl, while at the same time gaining her respect with the rest of A-troupe.
Jordan Clark as Giselle (Season 1-Recurring, Season 2-Main) A sweet dancer who is good at all types of dance, but acro is her best. She was formerly an A-troupe member and E-girl, but gets kicked out of the E-girls when she is demoted to B-troupe. She's waiting right at the door to come in A-troupe. A friend of Emily's, she also shows a liking to Michelle. Her and Daniel grew up together and partly why she was so devastated about not getting into A-troupe was because she felt like she let him down. Daniel has not said anything about their friendship though.
Zac Vran As Hunter (Season 2 – Present) (Main) Zac Vran, becomes a main cast member in the A-troupe, hes someone from Michelles past (First saw with emily dancing)
Taveeta Szymanowicz as Thalia, Becomes a main member in the A-troupe,
Bree Wasylenko as Kate (Recurring Role) The owner of the Next Step studio. The sort of "mother figure" to the dancers, especially Stephanie, acting as the strict but enthusiastic female advisor.
Shamier Anderson as Chris (Recurring Role) The head choreographer at the Next Step studio, known for his "dolphin tail" tactic for making the A-troupe pay attention. The sort of "father figure" to the dancers, especially James, acting as a compassionate, helpful, and rarely serious male advisor

The Next Step Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since the first time I saw your face
And everyday I'm amazed
You make me feel so brand new
Will we run out of time
Or spend forever together, together?
Seems like we don't have a choice
Singing: "Hey, let's go this
We'll get through this
You and I"
"Hey, let's do this
We'll get through this
You and I"
"Hey, let's do this
We'll get through this
You and I"
"Hey, let's do this
We can do this
If we try"
We've come such a long, long way
Since we set out the path we take
And we've been walking for days
Just to reach this place we've come to
Will we run out of time
Or spend forever together, together?
Have you made up your mind or have you closed it off?
Do you still hear that voice, do you still hear that voice?
Ringing: "Hey, let's go this
We'll get through this
You and I"
"Hey, let's do this
We'll get through this
You and I"
"Hey, let's do this
We'll get through this
You and I"
"Hey, let's do this
We can do this
If we try"
