Dance Life is an exciting new five-part series, which is hotly tipped to be the must-watch, watercooler-conversation starter, of the season!
The fly on the wall series promises to be both heart-breaking and heart-warming as it follows the crucial final year in the training of a group of young dancers, studying within the studios of the prestigious dance school, Brent Street, located in central Sydney.
The series isn’t just for those who have ever wanted to dance professionally, but for anyone who’s ever had a dream and been prepared to work hard enough to see that dream become a reality.
The dancers portrayed are a varied bunch, diverse in physicality, gender, sexuality and cultural background, adding to why each character has a different reason for wanting to be there and needing to succeed.
The preview trailer, released only a few days ago, has already racked up three and a half million views on various social media platforms. Viewers have immediately connected with the strength and elegance of the emotive subject matter.
The series was created and produced by Jade Barnes and Luke Cornish, with Cornish also writing and directing, alongside executive producers Brendan Dahill, David Alrich, Shahn Devendran and Phillip Busfield.
Of course, it goes without saying, the real stars of the show are the dancers, as adorable as they are ambitious, who must give absolutely everything they’ve got to make the most of the opportunity that they have worked their entire lives for.
Nail-biting, heart-wrenching and ankle-twisting stuff!
The series delicately handles the juxtaposition of success and realising dreams against the harsh reality of a demanding and unforgiving career path. It really is ‘make or break’ in so many ways for these young stars in training.
In order to fully appreciate this series viewers may need to stock up, not only on popcorn, but also legwarmers and muscle-rub, remember it’s never too late to chase that dream.
Premiering on January 19 on Prime Video
