舞蹈學院

15歲的鄉村少女懷揣夢想考入了位處大都市的舞蹈學院。然而隨之而後的誤解、邂逅、爭端讓她明白在舞蹈學院除了舞蹈之外，她要學習的東西還有很多很多。然而她和其他入學新生只有一年的時間來證明自己足夠優秀。站在友誼與競爭的分界線上，不難想象，這必將是個充滿驚喜與失望，歡笑與淚水，滿載青春記憶的一年。

Tara：她生活在鄉村，唯一的夢想就是成為一個舞蹈家。在高手如雲的舞蹈學院里她遇到了古靈精怪的Kat、被其他男生排擠的Sam、心機深沉的Abigail、冷淡寡言的Christian同時也遇到了自己心儀的男生Ethan。於是，面對如何平衡自己的學業與情感及人際關係的諸多難題，她的平靜生活就此被打破，而她也在不知不覺中成長起來。

Kat：作為Tara的好友，她幾乎擁有合格好友的所有優點：她古靈精怪，嬉笑怒罵灑脫自如；她嫉惡如仇，甘願為朋友兩肋插刀；她舞蹈天份極高卻視名利為糞土，彷彿就像個永動機，能為周圍人帶來源源不斷的驚喜與歡樂。毋庸置疑，她就是每個女生心中渴望卻不敢親自實踐的人物。然而其實這樣的人心裡也有渴望安全感的時候。

Abigail：舞蹈學院的優等生，獎學金的專有人，把桿位首的霸主，希望一切能安排得井井有條，一切盡在掌握。然而Tara的出現打破了她的專權，所以即使tara仍是班上最後一名的學生，Abigail依然毫不猶豫地把矛頭對準了她，這自然也使得Abigail與Tara好友們之間的對戰升級，加深了她的控制欲，卻不曾料到無意間也與Sam綻放了愛情的花朵。

Christian：孤僻、叛逆、犀利是所有人對他的第一印象，就連進入舞蹈學院也只是為了逃避牢獄之災。本以為可以混到畢業的他卻在不知不覺中受到周遭感染，心中對舞蹈的熱愛開始復甦，同時，周圍的人也感覺到他冰冷外殼下那顆善良又脆弱的心，他與Tara之間的愛情也開始綻放出花朵。

Sam：Tara和Kat的好友，學業優秀，跳舞卻先天不足，但他依然不顧家裡反對，執著於芭蕾。雖然一直被男生排擠，偶爾受Kat的欺負，卻仍然樂觀、熱心，有強烈的信念和目標，是一個外表靦腆柔弱內心卻異常堅韌的孩子。

Ethan：他帥氣、富有、溫和、舞技精湛 是無數男孩心中的偶像，是女生心中的白馬王子，也是Tara的暗戀對象。然而看似擁有一切，總是微笑待人的他其實也很自我，有自己無法超越的競爭對手，也有自己努力追求卻無所得的情感糾葛。

Cameras Start Rolling Today On Dance Academy, Series Two31/01/2011　舞蹈學院第二季已經開拍，將在澳大利亞時間3月31日上映。

Two new characters are set to join the lead cast of ABC3’s popular teen drama Dance Academy when filming starts today in Sydney - producing a further 26 half-hour episodes. Grace Whitney (played by Issi Durant, So You Think You Can Dance) joins the Academy after being kicked out of the Royal Ballet School in London. She immediately takes centre stage and figures if she is going to stay she’s going to need to shake things up. Ben Tickle (played by Tom Lacey, Blue Heelers) is the new class hottie; however his tendency to say the wrong things and aversion to personal hygiene often raises concerns with fellow dancers. Series two will also see the return of cast members including, Tara (Xenia Goodwin), Abigail (Dena Kaplan), Sammy (Tom Green), Christian (Jordan Rodrigues), Ethan (Tim Pocock) and Miss Raine (Tara Morice) as well as regular guest appearances from Kip Gamblin (Home and Away) playing dance teacher Zach, Keiynan Lonsdale (FAME The Musical) playing third year student Ollie and Brooke Harman (Rake) playing dance teacher Saskia Duncan. Seen through the eyes of Tara Webster, the second year at the Academy will be harder and the same allowances as first year will no longer be made. This year the students compete to be part of the world’s most prestigious ballet competition, the Prix de Fonteyn. Dance Academy producer Joanna Werner said: “We are thrilled to start work on the second series of Dance Academy. Our cast have been working hard in ‘ballet boot camp’ in preparation for the demanding shoot ahead. We hope our fans will enjoy what’s in stall for series two.” ABC TV’s Children’s Head of Commissioning and Development, Carla De Jong said: “Dance Academy is an award winning ABC3 program. We are thrilled with the success of series one and we look forward to working with Werner Film Productions in the months ahead.”

在2011年12月5日被批准投資。2012年8月27日開始拍攝。主要講述這群青年作為在學院的高年級學生，需爭奪舞蹈團的一份合同。
