"Dance Contest" is the twentieth episode of the fourth season of the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh. "Dance Contest" is the last episode to air of Drake and Josh. The episode first aired on September 16, 2007.
Eric is having a going-away party to Puerto Rico taking place at Drake and Josh's house, which is proven to be boring as usual. To please everyone, Josh shows off his super intense dancing moves, and he is suggested to join the Channel 5 dance contest on TV; Josh agrees to enter the dance contest to not only show off his dance skills, but to finally best his rival and on-and-off girlfriend Mindy into being #1. While Drake is playing with a hula hoop, his gym teacher visits their house and notifies Audrey that Drake is failing gym (due to being tardy and not dressing out when needed to),probabily due his lack of education and will have to repeat his junior year as a result; Drake doesn't want this to happen and decides to enter the Channel 5 dance contest as well to receive extra credit. At the Premiere, Josh talks to Emily Henderson (Johanna Braddy), who will be his dance partner and is the best dancer in San Diego, about the dance contest; Drake shows up and starts to talk to Emily himself while Josh is forced by his boss Helen to take care of some gangsters in a movie theater (despite it being Josh's day-off). When Josh finds out that Drake stole his dance partner Emily (because Drake gave Emily Josh's digital camera), he partners up with the best dancer in Eastern Europe named Vilga, who insults Drake and Emily. Unfortunately, Emily and Vilga doesn't get along and end up fighting, but Drake and Josh break it up. At the Channel 5 Dance Studio, Emily and Vilga once again get in a fight and are disqualified from the competition as a result. Drake and Josh are upset and starts to forfeit, until an idea comes to mind. Drake and Josh become dance partners and they put on an amazing and shocking show in front of the audience and judges, entertaining them all. After they finish, Drake and Josh are announced as the winners of the Channel 7 Dance Contest. At home, Audrey and Megan are shocked at Drake and Josh's dancing skills.
The episode was filmed in early 2006 and aired on September 16, 2007, marking the final episode of Drake and Josh.
