The Next Step: Academia de Dança

The Next Step was pretty enjoyable with the engaging characters, the story lines, drama, experiencing a new concept of the show (mockumentary style)it was pretty good. But as every season goes by the show constantly changes, it has lost it's mockumentary style, it focuses on Jiley ALOTT, the story lines are getting repetitive (too much love triangles),a lot of new cast members are introduced but leave the following season, new characters aren't engaging nor is the drama and too much boring fillers. Season 5 is definitely an improvement but just not good enough. It's still worth watching but I probably have just outgrowned this show.

this show is the best i have ever seen on TV in my entire life. Great for kids, tweens, teens, and even adults! this show get's to much hate so don't listen to the other reviews because I know you will love it. The dancing is amazing (especially from briar nolet who plays Richelle), I agree the acting isn't the best in the world but it is still good and the dancing and story lines makes up for it 100%. I truly recommend you watch this show, you will not regret it I promise.

My 9 year old daughter and I have recently discovered The Next Step and are currently on Season 3, we love it and the style of filming with the characters sharing their secret thoughts. The dancing is 'insane' to use one of the adjectives in the programme and the topics covered all very relevant to young people. There is plenty of comedy too and almost pantomime-like villains. Would highly recommend as an antidote to the current world we are living in. Enjoy!

You know, if I'm going read some of these comments pertaining to the acting, I'd recommend realizing this is on a family-based station. You ever watch the Disney channel and see that acting? They're not dancers. And the acting is terrible. BUT, it's the fact that this isn't smutty foul-mouthed crap. It's talented dancers, dancing and motivating one another in competition. Scenarios are all things that can happen in young lives and I've been a dancer and gymnast my whole life. I love this show and can relate... and I sure as heck know I wouldn't be a really great actor before a dancer. Get over yourself if that's what made you watch. It was the dancing. And they're talent far surpasses any lack of acting credentials.

The show is great for the first 3 seasons. It had a lot of character development and got more interesting. After that there was no point of making new episodes because they had won what they could have.
