Dance Academy (1988)

I came across "Dance Academy" years too late. I'm already in my thirties but I know that I would have loved every single episode of this Australian dance series when I was a teenager.

I don't know who rated this show on IMDb so far but the current 8.2 is not well-deserved.

When I first watched Dance Academy I was on a Dance movies extravaganza on Netflix. At first I was torn because it seemed like a teen drama series and those who's dating who plot lines always repel me.

Miss McKenzie (Newmar) and her sniveling sidekick Percival "Percy" Granville (???) run an upper-crust dance and music conservatory.

Realty check: The love itself and love in dancing should have been between Abigail and Sammy. The sacrifice of life to support someone dream to the end as well to help them to find themselves thru this world of critical is called love.

If I could rate the two seasons separately, I would rate the first one 7-8 stars and the second twenty billion. The second season is when all the actors really settle into their characters, and the writers seem to get a feeling of exactly what a drama show is.

I started watching for the fact of something to watch but intensely intrigued me and ended up becoming a fan and addicted to the show.

And by descriptions I mean "teen drama" or "children's show".I am a 27-year-old living in the US.
