Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

gamam As a parent watching this it is like watching a soap opera. Fake everywhere. Just plain awful.I'd rather take my daughter to a proper dance school to allow her to learn proper routines and etiquette then allow her to copy this drivel.I don't feel drawn to the characters. I don't feel sucked into the drama. If anything I feel put off and annoyed by the whole thing. The dancing is the only semi-interesting thing in the show.Honestly, this programme is a bad example. Competitive young adults. Fake acting. Weird dialogue. Weirder dance routines that just appear more like a mashup of ballet and gymnastics and street. Which wouldn't even be so bad if any of the dancing was actually professional looking and smooth, but honestly all I see are these young amateur dancers/actors flailing around trying to act cool.Louie Spence would gouge his eyes out watching this.

Katie Natasha This show is not good ... at all! The dancers as really bad, the dances make no sense, it is full of bitching and far too competitive. The show is about a dance studio that is trying to will regionals, then nationals so they come up with new dances every week, which they don't even use! There are also running commentaries every 5 minutes where the characters explain what is going through their heads at the time, this is very annoying because all they are doing is stating the obvious (like saying they are shocked because someone walked into a room). All the characters are bitching about each other behind each others backs, and putting each other down, this is not good for children to listen to. The dance studio also has no compassion for anyone! one of the girls fell once so they were kicked out, this shows children that if they don't do well then they are not good enough! Another girl had another priority which was important and they were told that they would get kicked out if they didn't put the dancing on top of the part time job that they had to pay for being a studio. I would not recommend this as it send such a bad message out to children!

Janie May I was skimming through Netflix one day and found this random show called "The next step." I had literally never heard of it. Didn't know a thing about it. I just clicked it and that was 600 minutes of my life gone. Not that I'm complaining. I just got addicted. Come on! The concept is so clever. It's a real show, real actors but it's not. It's a reality show. It's just brilliant. You can really see into the character's heads. You hear the thoughts they want to say to other people but can't. It's just really interesting and whoever came up with that is a genius. I love every single character. Riley's my favourite though. But I love James and Giselle and Michelle and Eldon and West and by the end of the first season, Emily. I don't know, it's a rare series for the fact that I absolutely love EVERY character and am so determined to watch them succeed. The romanticism id the best part. James and Riley's first date is beautiful and wonderful. I literally cried at it. Just to put this in perspective, my favourite TV show is Doctor Who. This is not my type of series and I'm addicted to it. :-P just watch it. It's incredibly choreographed, amazingly acted, articulately written and just a really clever concept. It's different and wonderful.

summerrose405 I loved this show from the start. First of all, it is Canadian and as we all know, there are hardly any Candian shows, let alone ones that are actually good.This show caught my attention from the start and made me wish I had never stopped dancing at the age of 6. All the dances that they do are amazing, unique and so good. I loved the drama and the the characters in this show, it makes it so interesting. Although the acting could use a bit of work, the actors are truly amazing at dancing.The only thing I'm sad about is the low rating on IMDb. This show is on Family Channel, meaning it is aimed for kids pre-teen to young teen. So if your 26 and don't like it, it was not aimed for you to watch. The rating on this show should be at least an 8, so I'm hoping my vote will bring it up.
