    A Dance Lovers Dream

    Any past or current dancers can relate and appreciate the effort and passion these young dancers have and show during their dance training and performances. Love watching the ups and downs and progress of dancers and this series was a perfect display of this.

    Would love it even more if the full performances were shown but then I guess these episodes would've gone on for way too long.

    Hearing from the dancers, dance teachers and parents was a highlight and very well directed.

    You feel connected to the artists event more so than just watching their dancing.

    Hopefully more seasons to come, perhaps even a where are they now in the future.

    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.

    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.

    Finally a fantastic reality show with real characters

    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.

    Those Aussies sure know how to do things right!!

    I totally enjoyed this doc/reality series. So impressed with the school, the instructors, the kids and the camera work. It's not easy filming movement like they had with such intense choreography. And that was some special creative stuff. I was a professional dancer in the 70's, danced in musicals, operas, showcases, ballets, and it has developed to where dancers now have to know gymnastics, a plethora of styles and keep physically and emotionally healthy. I also noticed they weren't so picky with body types, they nurtured anyone who was willing to work really hard and dance well. God bless these kids and I hope they enjoy your time in the spotlight, it goes by really fast!
