Dance Life

This show had me gripped from the first 3 minutes. The dance and the storytelling is dramatic and emotional and above all, real. You follow each character and develop a connection to all of them. You join them on their journey to becoming professional dancers. It shows the work, the highs, the lows and the opportunities the dancers experience and ends in an eye watering, breath-taking final performance, which only left me wanting more! The editing gives you a feel good factor you can't ignore and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is a refreshing authentic reality series that shows empathy and non-judgmental observation of young people who are extremely talented but also human beings who are trying to make it into the world as young adults. More please!!!

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!

This series was a nice surprise - so much more than than a doco about, or for dancers (I am not a dancer!). The series follows the journey of a group of 18/19 year olds as they chase their dreams, and delves into the myriad of challenges faced by young adults as they find their way in life. It's a rare behind the scenes looks into a world I didn't understand, and you'll fall in love with the cast and find yourself rooting for them all to succeed. I found myself engrossed and binged in one night with my partner and 13 year old daughter, who also both enjoyed. It's raw and real, and a nice deviation form the over the top reality shows on TV today.

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.

This show really showed just how hard dance is! As someone who wants to go and do dance professionally in the future I found it very motivating to keep going and to push harder. I loved following the different dancers around and seeing parts of their home lives, yet how we saw all their work behind their productions and showing just how much goes into their shows. Personally Max O was my favourite to watch, he just really gave something different that I hadn't ever seen before on stage or in the studio. I liked how it wasn't scripted or over dramatised like other dance reality tv shows. The best part was realising that it was filmed at Brent street as I've followed them for so long and love their work it was great to see what it was like to go there! The only thing I could ask for more from it was to see the other gradings and follow maybe two more cast members around. I would have love to have seen and learnt more about Brooke and Georgia.
