nondancer here and I loved this show. It fulfilled my secret dance dreams and okay...I lived for the drama. Plus it was in general a great coming of age show...I really enjoyed seeing how the characters matured over the seasons, how they learned to find where they 'fit' in the dance world, how they learned to cope with disappointments and setbacks, how they learned to make their voice heard against people trying to tell them who/what they should be.

Former dancer - absolutely love this show. Have rewatched several times. And yes, they actually cast people who were dancers and it shows. Please please Josephine watch the whole series, it’s so much more than these dramatic moments.

I watched the entire show from start to finish. Multiple Multiple times. I, myself, am a dancer and dance educator who understands the emotions and the drama.

I feel like Josephine must watch this show entirely, watching scenes or episodes randomly doesn’t do it justice, this is a really good show, it might look really dramatic but at the end it has really good messages, doesn’t matter if you are a dancer or not

Honestly can't stand shows like this. Tweens watch them and think this is what relationships are like. It just encourages girls to be competitive and mean in a world where we should be lifting each other up at every opportunity.

Non ballet dancer (used to clog) and I loved this show particularly Abigails story because I identified with her since she had a Slightly bigger body type than the other characters and I was told as a a young child I was too big to learn ballet .the drama never really felt particularly unrealistic especially compared to other shows airing around this time .

I really enjoyed this show because the actors actually dance and are quite talented. Highly recommend.

I’m a dancer, or was, and I loved Dance Academy! I was quite a bit younger when I watched it though. It still has one of the most shocking and upsetting deaths of any tv programme I’ve ever seen.

Haven’t danced in 40 years. Can’t stand the show. Not because of the dance, I love that. It’s the petty drama and backstabbing. I’m to old for all that.

I’m not a dancer, but I did gymnastics and theater and I loved this show. It made me want to do ballet so bad!!

Someone that used to dance, I've watched this and for some reason I got emotionally invested with the characters especially Sammy.

Former dancer that watched this show as a grown adult…and loved it!!! You have to watch it from the beginning! I loved that the main characters weren’t the typical ballet body aesthetic, and that they were all talented dancers. Watching these clips I could hear the opening music in my head and it gave me the warm and fuzzies all over again 😊

I've been an on and off dancer for about 12 years, and when I watched this show I was not dancing and it made me miss dance SO MUCH but also some of the plot points and the dancing are sooo good, I still love this whole show

I‘m a non-dancer but I’m rhythmic gymnast and we have ballet training in our practice. Personally I really love the ballet element and that is so heavily focused on that, because I HATED doing ballet in our practice but because of Dance Academy , I kind of grew to like it

🙋🏾‍♀️non-dancer. I binge watched this ~3½ years ago. After a few episodes I got drawn in and invested in the actors/dancers. Literally cried towards the end over something that happened.

Non dancer and absolutely love this show. I’ve watched it so many times through! Fills all dreams I’ve had for dancing ❤

I love this show! and the movie was even better! a really satisfying follow up

Dancer - Dance Academy was the last straw that got me into ballet training over a decade ago. I was always dancing along to the episodes with makeshift barre excercises and stretches etc. I was obsessed with this show and I've watched all seasons multiple times, although it's often hard to know what awaits you in season 2 and beyond.

Dancer here who watched the show. It’s so good! So much drama but I love for it and the dancing really is spot on. It has so many good storylines also. You should give more a watch. Season 2 has so many crazy moments!

It is a Story based on a Real dancer, and her aunt made a tv series out of it!!!🎉
