    What I needed

    This film was great in the way it continued right where the series left off a few years prior. This film has so much emotion and I am glad they stayed with the original cast for this movie and it came across really well. I also loved that this movie showed that sometimes your dream isn't what you need and your ideas can change because of what happens to a person.

    If you love dance, ballet it's worth a watch

    You need to watch the first for some bits to make sense.

    If you love ballet and dance and cheesy love story it's perfect. Great dancing and music.

    Loved it!

    I am from the UK and loved the series on Netflix. The movie has the same great cast, beautiful soundtrack and stunning performances. Xenia Goodwin has grown as an actress and dancer, taking the viewer on her emotional journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and hope for a sequel.

    Besides, it didn't even win me over...

    Overcoming movies usually win my heart, but musicals and dances, with their cake recipes for nothing and low sugar, bore me, like, better get off the diet by eating tasty, boring and boring stuff, (version) Portuguese from Portugal, only the soundtrack makes us love, makes us cry and want to go on screen, the end credits with photos and videos of the child actors, won S2... besides, it didn't even win me over...

    Not bad

    I've never seen the TV series, and was a little bit confused when I first watched the movie. However, I've watched it again (more than once) and have gotten the hang of it. It's actually quite good. Story of an Aussie girl searching for her dream. I'm Aussie, by the way.
