So if you liked Center Stage...

there is a show on netflix called Dance Academy (I don't know if it is BBC - but it is based in Australia) - short 20-25 min episodes and completely addictive (well if you like dance).

But does it have ballets that involve motorcycles, Jamiraqoi songs, and Michael Jackson songs?

That's my favorite part.  

I also like the multiple hair styles she has and how quickly that happens!

The shoe change was my favorite part.

I'm not ashamed how much I love that movie. 

Every time I hear 'Higher Ground' I think of the scene in the 'ghetto' dance class where they're all leaping.

Oh, and one of my crafty friends made another one of our friends a Barbie that looked exactly like Jodi in the red costume.  

It was so cool!

That movie made me really like Mandy Moore's music.

It felt so wrong and yet so right.

I am going to be watching this when I get home now.

hahahaa - I just got back and read all the responses - sorry no motorcyle MJ dance numbers with magically changing costumes (as a once costume designer that bugged the crap out of me ;op)

But, good dancing, typical teen aged angst, underdog rises to the top - etc, etc, etc.... I think I also just like the Aussie accents ;o)
