Region 7 is a Canadian region, in which The Next Step Dance Studio and their numerous rivals at Absolute Dance Regionals are located.
History
Region 7 is a portion of Canada. The name is colloquial and is only used during Absolute Dance Regionals in order to differentiate between the various competitions. For years, Elite Dance Academy was hailed as the best dance studio in Region 7, a title which is assumed by The Next Step Dance Studio upon their victory at the 17th Annual Absolute Dance Regionals,[1] and subsequently by Gemini Dance Studio upon their victory at the 18th Annual Regionals.[2]
Region 7 appears to be a fairly large region; although both The Next Step and Elite are contained within it, they seem to be very far apart, as Emily comments that it takes three buses for Eldon to get to Elite.[3] It is assumed that many of the dancers at The Next Step do not live near the studio as most of them are driven there, though this does not mean that they do not live inside of the region.

Trivia
Cultural references
- It is likely that Region 7 is within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and therefore that Region 7 is Toronto itself. This conclusion can be made due to the majority of scenes in the show being of Scarborough or Downtown Toronto, which are both a part of Toronto. However, occasional scenes of Mississauga dispute this; Mississauga is a part of Peel Region and not Toronto, but it is nonetheless a part of the GTA.
- Alternatively, the regions featured in the show could have nothing to do with the actual regions in the GTA at all, as there are seven regions in the GTA and there are at least sixty-four known regions throughout Canada on the show.
Notes
- ↑ CDC compete at the 17th Absolute Dance Regionals and are eliminated in the first round; however, despite this, they are later shown to have reached the semi-finals at the subsequent Nationals. It possible they competed in and won Regionals in another region, similarly to Elite Dance Academy; however this is never confirmed. It is equally likely that it is simply a continuity error, and the studio was used to "fill in the gaps" at both competitions.
