She’s joined by Kat, Ethan, Christian, Sammy and Abigail. Over the next year, against the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour, we will watch these teens battle through the minefield of elite dance training. The stakes are high and no one can forget that at the end of the year not everyone makes the cut. When it’s judgment time, who will star in the end of year performance at the Sydney Opera House?
