Dance Contest

Drake discovers he is failing gym, and so he discovers if he enters and wins a dance contest he can get extra credit to pass. But this involves stealing Josh's partner, who entered because he wanted enough credits to beat Mindy in better grades. So Josh gets a mean foreign dancer and her and Drake's partner get in a fight and get kicked off. Now Drake and Josh need to dance with each other and win. In the end they do.

A decent episode. The dances at the end were pretty good and it was pretty funny. Weird pacing but the rest was solidmoreless

One of the best Season 4 episodes that I have ever seen

I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Drake and Josh". My only problem that made my score a tad low as Drake stealing Josh's dance partner. I tried to let it slide but it kinda drove me crazy especially because Josh's dance partner already knows that she is already dancing with Josh and I just had to take away very little points for that. Other than that one little issue, this episode was very funny and fantastic. Josh wanting a dance partner so he can win high school credits after the dance competition was a really good idea. The very beginning of the episode definitely made me laugh so hard especially because there is a random old lady at the party and everyone is saying that no one invited her. Josh's new dance partner was very funny. Drake and Josh rehearsing their dances in the living room was very funny. Drake and Josh's dance partners being disqualified because they both got into a cat fight was funny. It was absolutely hilarious when Drake and Josh are gonna dance with each other for the dance contest. Megan and Audrey's mouths open wide frozen and shocked because they Drake and Josh dancing with each other on television was very funny. Drake and Josh's dance moves were hilarious and awesome at the same time. Overall, an excellent episode of "Drake and Josh" and one of the best Season 4 episodes that I have ever seen. 9.5/10moreless

I LOVED THIS EPISODE! It was definetly one of my favorite episodes of Season 4 and of the entire show! They out did themselves this time with this wonderful episode. Only Nickelodeon could have thought to have Drake fail gym and steal Josh's dance partner to save his own butt. Most of the time, other shows would have backed out of that situation because they wouldn't be able to think of a good plot. But, as we all know, the people of Drake and Josh can do ANYTHING! This episode was very funny and I think it was a good example to always try your hardest, but never let anyone in your family steal your dance partner! Drake Bell and Josh Peck were outstanding in this episode and I think everyone who saw this episode will remember it for very long, long, long time!moreless
