Plot synopsis

Template:Spoiler Stan and his friends are hanging out, when a group of kids from Orange County come and dance in front of them, thus "serving" them. The group of kids leaves after trash-talking Stan and the boys, who are left confused by the entire confrontation. Stan tells his dad, and Mr. Marsh gets upset that his son was served and tells Stan to dance, and the next time he gets "served," he "serves" them back---and of course, this means "it's on." This apparently means that there is now a dance contest to be played, the Orange County kids versus the best dancers in South Park. Mr. Marsh goes to the Orange County kids to apologize and make it clear that "it's not on." Instead, the Orange County coach takes this as a challenge and "serves" Mr. Marsh with exceptional dance moves. Mr. Marsh winds up in the hospital with the worst case of "being served" that the doctors have ever seen.

Stan goes out to find the town's best dancers: one of the Goth Kids, an Asian kid that excels on a Dance Dance Revolution console from the arcade, Yao, and Mercedes the Raisins girl. Needing a fifth member for the group, Mercedes reveals that Butters was once state tap-dancing champion; however, when they ask him to join he runs away screaming, and it is revealed via flashback that two years previously, his shoe had flown off during the national Tap-Dancing Finals, hit a stage light in the rafters and led to a chain of events that left 8 people in the audience dead (11 in total because one woman was pregnant, and two others committed suicide after the tragedy). Butters flatly refuses to participate in the show, and instead the team has to settle for a dancing duck from a local farm.

However, the day of the performance the duck's leg gets injured during practice, and the team looks like it would be forced to forfeit without a fifth member. Just in time, Butters suddenly shows up in his tap-dancing outfit, and the kids are able to perform. However, when they do, Butters' shoe flies off again, hits a stage light...and the whole rafter falls, killing the entire Orange County team and their coach. Though Butters is horrified by this, the South Park team wins by default, and a blood-stained, screaming Butters is carried off and hailed as a hero.

Trivia

• The song Randy teaches Stan dancing to is Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart".
• The Dance Dance Revolution song is unknown and may be canned music. Also, the arrows are shown on the opposite side of the screen from where Yao is playing, which is incorrect.
