A love/ hate relationship.
Having a family member who is currently auditioning for different ballet companies made this series especially relevant. It is an inside look at Ballet West in Salt Lake City, Utah. In my title I said this was a love/hate relationship. I loved the actual dancing but really, six episodes dealing with Allison & Ron's co-dependent and basically unhealthy relationship? By the end of the series I was totally sick of both of them. But if you're a ballet fanatic like I am, it was an interesting show & I learned quite a bit about the real world of ballet as well. If only it wasn't for all the ridiculous teenage emo I would have given this more stars.
Seriously?
I would have enjoyed this more if there were less ridiculous drama and more about their hard work dancing. Allison and Ronnie in particular were difficult to watch, in fact I skipped past some of their parts. Who really cares about Allison leading on some poor guy who can't understand that she is friend zoning him for forever but wants him around when she needs someone? To boot she's jealous and nasty to anyone who is better than her.
Great Ballet Show
The only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is because the soap opera element of the personal relationships distracts from the ballet insider's view at times. Otherwise, great show!
