This film was great in the way it continued right where the series left off a few years prior. This film has so much emotion and I am glad they stayed with the original cast for this movie and it came across really well. I also loved that this movie showed that sometimes your dream isn't what you need and your ideas can change because of what happens to a person.

I am a 62 year old woman who danced ballet as a teen. I thought the tv series marvelous and was truly addicted to watching it. The movie not so much. It was contrived and silly. Just didn't seem natural the way the tv series was. Choreography was very interesting.

I am from the UK and loved the series on Netflix. The movie has the same great cast, beautiful soundtrack and stunning performances. Xenia Goodwin has grown as an actress and dancer, taking the viewer on her emotional journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and hope for a sequel.

Well, it's hard to say just how much of a letdown this movie was without spoiling, so SPOILERS AHEAD, proceed with caution.So, first of all... moving the story from Australia to NYC was extremely disappointing. The Australian setting gave the original series something different, moving it to NYC made it just another mediocre dance movie (ironically, something that the lead characters complain about in the TV series repeatedly). Coupled with the jarring move to NYC, was the unrealistic portrayal of Kat getting a job on a kids show. Not only are cheap kids shows NOT made in NYC (they're made in CA), but the recently discovered star of a cable show wouldn't make enough money for a fancy New York apartment and a hot pink limo. Thirdly, you've already killed Sammy off the show. There was no need to bring back Ben's cancer. It was needless drama.Fourth, why put Tara through the ringer of auditioning, not getting the part, moving to NYC, repeatedly auditioning and not getting the part, only to get picked up by the Australian company that rejected her in the first place... only to have her quit dancing after all of that? And we all know that Abigail isn't going to throw away her place in the company to dance an amateur's choreography in a one time showcase.Overall, the characters were all written very differently than their previous selves in the TV series. I almost traveled to Australia to see this in the Theaters as it has yet to be released in the US, and I'm so glad I didn't.
