南方公园舞队出现于剧集“尬舞风波”，斯坦·马什接受了奥兰治县舞队的尬舞挑战后，组建了该舞队。
背景
男孩们在“真值”停车场被奥兰治县舞队“收拾”后，他们去了大厨家，询问自己应该如何应对。大厨给他们的父母打电话，告知了他们的情况。当斯坦回到家后，兰迪·马什强迫他去车库，伴着比利·雷·赛勒斯（Billy Ray Cyrus）的歌曲《痛碎之心》学习线舞，这样他下次就可以保护自己了。
第二天，男孩们又碰到了企图“收拾”他们的奥兰治县舞队，斯坦用兰迪教给他的线舞进行反击。聚集起来的人群为他喝彩，被“收拾”的奥兰治县舞队宣布开战，邀请他周六在奥兰治县会议中心决斗，赢家将有机会出现在说唱歌手莉儿·金的MV中。
斯坦开始为比赛组建自己的舞蹈团，先邀请了迈克尔，迈克尔为了体现自己比其他三人更特立独行，同意了。然后，迈克尔举荐了姚，后者每天都在街机游戏“舞蹈革命”上练习跳舞。迈克尔又建议他们招募一个女孩，于是他们在瑞星餐厅招募到了梅赛德斯。
The last dancer they tried to recruit was Butters, who previously competed in the The National Tap Dancing Championship. Butters declined the offer because of a tragedy occurred at the tap dancing competition, which had put him off dancing forever. Not deterred by Butters declination, Stan and the Diggities were told about a special "dancing duck", named Jeffy, who dances to fiddle music with references to illegal drugs. The South Park Diggities were to be trained by Chef, who believed they had a serious lack of raw talent.
At the Orange County Convention Center, the competition began to heat up as The Orange County Crew started off strong with their organized choreography. When it came time for the South Park Diggities to perform, each member took a turn dancing until Butters' turn was up. Like the tragedy that happened at his previous tap competition, his tap shoe once again flew off, knocking the Klieg lights down onto the The OC Crew members, thus killing them instantly. The South Park Diggities were declared the winners of the competition, but Butters was still upset at the circumstances and tragedy leading to their victory.
