Story

Ozone and Turbo are now working in a cultural center located here in their poor neighborhood. This center brings together local children and young people who are engaged in various types of creativity there, instead of wandering around the streets. Ozone and Turbo teach dancing there. However, the center building is in disrepair and local authorities decide to demolish it and build a shopping center in its place. The pupils have the only hope of saving the center; somehow, within a month, they collect the amount of $ 200 thousand necessary for the capital repair of the building.

Kelly at this time is torn between a trip to Paris to participate in a theatrical production and a desire to stay in Los Angeles to help friends. Turbo, meanwhile, falls in love with a pretty girl who is very shy.
