Dance Academy is a coming-of-age drama series that follows the lives of a group of young ballet dancers at the National Academy of Dance in Sydney, Australia. Led by the stern but caring Ms. Raine, the students work tirelessly to perfect their craft, while also navigating the ups and downs of teenage life.

At the center of the show is Tara Webster, a talented dancer with a passion for ballet. Despite her raw talent, Tara struggles to fit in at the academy and constantly grapples with feelings of self-doubt. Alongside her are a group of equally talented dancers, including Abigail Armstrong, a fierce and driven performer who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals; Christian Reed, a rebellious and charismatic dancer with a troubled past; and Kat Karamakov, a quirky and bubbly ballerina who always manages to lighten the mood with her infectious personality.

As the dancers train for their shot at greatness, they face countless obstacles along the way. From jealous competitors and demanding teachers to family dramas and romantic entanglements, each character must navigate a complex web of relationships and emotions in order to achieve their dreams.

Throughout its three-season run, Dance Academy delves into themes of friendship, love, self-discovery, and the dogged pursuit of excellence. With breathtaking dance sequences and heartfelt performances from its young cast, this series is a must-watch for anyone who loves drama, romance, and the power of dance.

Dance Academy is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (52 episodes). The series first aired on February 20, 2012.
