The Next Step: Academia de Dança

My 10yr daughter loves this and my son now also enjoys it and I love to take the mick out of it whilst they watch. Put yourself in a young persons shoes and you'll love it. Acting is bad, script is terrible but if you don't enjoy it's because it's not meant for you.

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.

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.

Interesting concept and style. Acting isn't the greatest but most of the actors are pretty young and are most likely working on their first network show. With a little work it could be a pretty decent series. I'm from Canada and I know how much slack we get for our TV shows,but without the proper funds and expensive scenery that the other American Disney shows have this show does well with what it has. I'm guessing for most of them dancing came before acting which is why they may be a little underdeveloped in that area. Emily stands out the most to me I can see her getting mainstream attention someday. Overall it's an OK show most that is most suited for pre-teens.

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.
