After a 30-day probationary period, Angela is set to sign off on an agreement for co-ownership with Kate. However, A-Troupe reveal Angela's plans to reform The Next Step Dance Studio beyond the terms of co-ownership. Kate realises that Angela is not fit to continue leading the team and is fired. [4]

At Regionals, Angela firmly believes Encore the superior team and this is backed up as Encore finishes as the number one team heading into the Finals.[8]

Encore, after an exceptional finals routine, are crowned Regionals winners. Curtis, a Regionals judge, uncovers that Encore's routine matches that of a popular online dance, after attempting to bribe the judge Angela and Encore are disqualified.[9]

Following her attempts to cheat at Regionals, Angela is placed on probation by Absolute Dance, meaning she is effectively banned from attending any Absolute Dance competitions for a year. [2].

Season 7[]

Angela holds a dance class at Encore Dance Studios. Both Kenzie and Richelle show up, although only to spy on Miss Angela, to find out the reason Lily wants to join A-Troupe. Angela reveals she sent Lily to the studio in the hopes she will find a home at The Next Step.[2] 

After a long time Angela returns to see Dancemania filming. Nick and Angela quiz each other about who is the the better Dancemania fan. With Angela's expertise Nick offers her to be coach for Dancemania.

Upon finding out about Lily and Kingston's relationship, Angela forces them to break up as Lily is forbidden from dating. Though after seeing a duet between the two, Angela confesses that Kingston is making Lily a better dancer and that she has never seen Lily dance like this. She then allows the two to get back together, but organizes a "dinner date" between the families.[11]

Despite her supposed role as "Dancemania coach", Angela isn't seen for the rest of the season. Although she does appear in the special 6 episode mini-series where she hosts the Vidcast under the name Baroness Von Dance and discusses the events of Dancemania: Season 13.
