I don't get the bad reviews. This is a melodramatic teen show with amazing dancing. I don't understand what else people are expecting. The acting and plot are not going to win any Emmys, but they are not nearly as terrible as people are claiming. The story is titillating enough to keep your attention, and it's worth watching for the beautiful dancing alone. I grew up loving the movie Center Stage, and this show is like a slightly darker and sexier, up-to-date, serialized version of that. The only negative review I would agree with is that the age group is inappropriate. For the amount of nudity and sex, I would have made the characters college-aged and aimed the series at older teens and young adults rather than high school aged teens.

I think the show is worth a 7 just for being entertaining and heartfelt in its commitment to portraying the dance world, choreography, and diversity, but I'm giving it a 9 to help offset the bad reviews.
