‘Off Campus’: Inside Dean & Allie’s Dance Scene With Stephen Kalyn & Mika Abdalla

Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) and Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) have got moves. Off Campus Season 1 surprised readers of Elle Kennedy’s college hockey romance series of the same name by giving the Briar U students a steamy interaction as early as Episode 2. Stars Stephen Kalyn and Mika Abdalla took Swooon behind the scenes of that charged moment between their characters on the dance floor. (Warning: Spoilers for Episode 2 of Off Campus Season 1!)

In “The Practice,” Dean and his best friend, Beau (Khobe Clarke), throw a costume party for their birthdays, which Allie and her boyfriend Sean (Riley Davis) attend. Sean disappears to find his forgotten Dunkin’ cup, which would complete his Ben Affleck–Jennifer Lopez couple’s costume with Allie. Allie, clad in the singer’s iconic green dress, gets down on the dance floor solo and catches Dean’s eye. He swoops in as soon as Tucker (Jalen Thomas Brooks), the wingman of the century, cues up JLo’s “On the Floor.”
