The episode "On Your Marks" from season 6 of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic follows the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, as they struggle to find their purpose now that they have all received their respective cutie marks.

After getting a little taste of life without their cutie mark searching mission, the Crusaders find themselves feeling lost and uncertain about what to do next. They try various activities, such as baking and sculpting, but can't seem to find anything that feels fulfilling or meaningful.

One day, they witness a young foal named Tender Taps performing a mesmerizing dance routine. They are all impressed with his talent and ask how he discovered his passion for dancing. Tender Taps explains that he took a class at the local dance studio and fell in love with it.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are inspired by Tender Taps' story and decide to follow in his footsteps by taking a variety of classes, hoping that they will discover their own passions and talents.
