The Next Step: Academia de Dança

The dancing is amazing and every dancer has their own style the drama is so interesting and funny and some relationships and this show basically has it all I've watched the first 4 season about 17 times love them goes a bit downhill after but the first seasons are the best I'm growing up watching these started watching it when I was 7 love this show and the characters.

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.

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!

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.
