Dance Academy is mainly about the fifteen-year-old Tara Webster - a girl who grew up on a farm in outback Australia. Since she was a little girl she has dreamt of being a dancer and in the series she finally makes it into the National Academy of Dance. It’s known as the best school in the country and she is sure her life is about to be spectacular.
Throughout the series Tara and her friends face the universal challenges of being a teenager and they battle through the minefield of elite dance training. Relationships grow and change as they live side by side in the Boarding House. They each take a different path, but they start to find out who they are and they all dare to chase their dreams.

I still wish they’d kept doing this show. Or even if they made a show about their kids and you could see the characters grown up…

[@carissashley]

And I still unashamedly ship Ethan and Tara 😂

[@hannahchesnutt9812]

Same!!!

[@JasmineRachelle22]

At least they made a movie after!! But I agree

[@Iovelyycolors]

yeah i've been thinking the same for years now, imagine a show focusing on the new generation of students at the academy!

[@rebekahl840]

I think series 1 parts should have been show. At 1 point, she is upset so she makes cupcakes. This all leads to the bigger problem

I vented to my friend about my eating disorder and everything and she didnt care she just took all the attention for herself, she didnt help me and left me to deal with it alone, and she expected me to care, thats happened for 6 years (the amoutlnt of time ive had my ed) and i only ended the friendship new years eve. It just makes me ache when i see kat because i can relate to her so much its actually unbelievable, and the constant feeling of being alone, it hurts

I love dance! The art ! To actually engage in it,plus I am older. I do yoga and contemporary dance. At my age,ballet plus I’m not willing to give up my love to eat. A foodie) not a ED though being honest,when my Dad passed,I ( I’m naturally built tall and slim) I experienced severe loss grief we were very close …..so I dropped 3 sizes. My normal size is 8 USA living in Cda.i dropped dangerously to a size 4……Back then I thought I was the perfect one” then one day I passed out,,…the rest is a blur. I never went to ED recovery . Therapy traditionally yes! It’s not cool to look like a toothpick. It’s cool to be well❤

So interesting how Abby comments on Kat’s b*limia humour when Abby herself has an ED throughout the show.

[@Gothicana-LG]

Whats an ED?

[@itsdune079]

@@Gothicana-LG an eating disorder. "E" stands for "eating" and "D" stands for "disorder"

i cannot put my finger on why this guy looks so familiar

[@sharonnwokeji]

He’s Hugo Johnstone-Burt

[@AgAusstar]

He was on Home and Away too

[@mxrx1628]

Kind of unrelated but wtf was that interaction with Dr. Wicks?? Ending the conversation with "it might get a lot worse" instead of showing concern and interest in getting Tara's "friend"/Kat help is not only highly unprofessional, it's also scaring Tara and making it her responsibility to help Kat, which is a huge burden she shouldn't have to bear. They're teenagers who need guidance and help and shouldn't have to deal with those issues alone/amongst themselves. Especially because Dr Wicks likely has a lot of experience with academy students with eating disorders and should/could act accordingly. I'm aware it's only a show and I'm aware mental health and mental illness representation wasn't as common as it is today. But this always bothers me when rewatching the show. Dr Wicks of all people should know how painful and devastating eating disorders often are. If this were the reaction of any other character in the show it wouldn't matter as much (because mental illness representation and the general public's knowledge on it weren't as wide spread) but it's a doctor whose patients are dancers. Who are, sadly, prone to eating disorders and their consequences.

[@lisahoughton3262]

Isn’t that guy the one who…..

[@Smithschipsgirl]

yo he looks SO familiar but I just cant place my finger on who he is!

🤨 Australian entertainment SUCKS!!!!! Neighbours, Home and Away, The Voice, The Bachelorette, Dance Academy, Love Child and Married at First Sight etc. 👎👎 They're all totally crap. Can't the studios come up with something better? It's all boring to me.

[@mitica-mar]

Don’t watch it.

[@anonmous4468]

Mcleod’s daughters,all saints , winners and losers . Those were good , it took me a long time to give dance academy a chance but that’s the bomb also

[@lunalove9395]

You're a grown man shitting on a show aimed at teenagers...bit weird innit? Also Australia has produced a lot of decent dramas over the years - Packed to the rafters, 800 words, The Heights, Playing for keeps were all great.

[@petsandthingsilike]

This shows just isn't in your demographic but its not bad

[@chamallow989]

I mean, you look like you’re 30. Maybe you’re not the targeted demographic
