Dance Life

This show really showed just how hard dance is! As someone who wants to go and do dance professionally in the future I found it very motivating to keep going and to push harder. I loved following the different dancers around and seeing parts of their home lives, yet how we saw all their work behind their productions and showing just how much goes into their shows. Personally Max O was my favourite to watch, he just really gave something different that I hadn't ever seen before on stage or in the studio. I liked how it wasn't scripted or over dramatised like other dance reality tv shows. The best part was realising that it was filmed at Brent street as I've followed them for so long and love their work it was great to see what it was like to go there! The only thing I could ask for more from it was to see the other gradings and follow maybe two more cast members around. I would have love to have seen and learnt more about Brooke and Georgia.

This show had me gripped from the first 3 minutes. The dance and the storytelling is dramatic and emotional and above all, real. You follow each character and develop a connection to all of them. You join them on their journey to becoming professional dancers. It shows the work, the highs, the lows and the opportunities the dancers experience and ends in an eye watering, breath-taking final performance, which only left me wanting more! The editing gives you a feel good factor you can't ignore and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is a refreshing authentic reality series that shows empathy and non-judgmental observation of young people who are extremely talented but also human beings who are trying to make it into the world as young adults. More please!!!

This beautiful and skillfully-directed docu-series that follows a group of young dancers from one of Australia's premier dance schools is nothing short of exceptional. It is a thrilling and exhilarating insight into the world of these super talented and dedicated young individuals, their hopes, dreams, trials and tribulations. Expertly directed, produced and edited, it makes for exciting and heartfelt viewing. You can't help but fall in love with each of the featured dancers (and one of the main choreographers/teachers, Cassie) in one way or another. I was awe-struck and filled with nothing but admiration and emotion for these gifted people and their perseverance, passion and commitment to their art. Simply breathtaking. Highly recommend.

DANCE LIFE is a masterclass in immersive, observational filmmaking. It follows a group of aspiring young dancers at Sydney's elite 'Brent Street' dance school as they navigate the physical, mental and emotional demands of their graduation year.

The dancing is spectacular, but it is the intimate, unguarded moments behind the scenes where as we get to know and care about the students and their teachers.

It is raw, startling and gut wrenching at times, but never feels exploitative or manipulative. The filmmakers sensitively peel back the layers on the lives of the main characters, revealing the utter dedication and commitment that they have to achieving their dreams.

This is joyous, life-affirming documentary storytelling at its very best.

Dance Life. A brand new Australian reality /doco style tv show about the intense world of competitive dance. Absolutely incredible! Highly recommend!! All young people should watch this. Really showcases hard work, dedication, commitment, self discovery and self acceptance. Fantastic messages and really genuine characters. My favorites are Emily, Max O and Tiana. Hopefully big careers ahead for these truly talented individuals. Such a refreshing watch in the reality television genre not to see scripted trashy drama. This felt real and raw. And the choreography is some of the best dance I have ever seen. Very impressive Australia.
