    The best reality dance series I've ever seen!

    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!!!

    Must watch, refreshing storytelling and slick production

    I finished all 5 episodes of Dance Life.

    Wow !! Refreshing !, right from the opening frames of the first episode I was held captive. The production is so slick and seamless and the story flows effectively and effortlessly and is portrayed with an authentic and raw honesty which took me back to gruelling days of dance school myself. The entire season is like a beautifully choreographed performance in its own right , uplifting and inspiring viewing. What can I say, graceful, humble and memorable story telling at its best , truly enjoyable watching each episode unfolding before my eyes. Not just the story either the whole thing, production, filming everything... amazing !! You really all involved should be most proud of yourselves. Well done man 👍👍. Anything this production team does I'll be tuning into now, past , present and future. .

    Great show thoroughly entertaining

    I loved loved loved this show! Hats off to the writers and producers for doing such a professional job . I binge watched the entire season it was so entertaining and the dancers were superb it was great to see them from the start and get to know them individually and see them grow not just in their dancing career but also their personalities. By the time it came to their graduation I felt like a proud parent myself. I think what those dancers go through on a daily basis to learn their craft and become great at it is very inspiring it is an extremely hard job that takes not just talent but a great strength and determination on a physical and emotional level and they deserve praise. Really hope there will be another season of this show.

    This was a revelation!!

    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.

    Phenomenal and thrilling documentary/reality series

    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.
