Story
The main character of the film, the fifteen-year-old Tara ( Ksenia Goodwin ) [3] , four freshmen: Abigail ( ), Kat ( ), Sammy ( ), Christiana ( ) and the third-year student Ethan ( ) - was lucky to go through a competitive selection in the best dance school in Australia [3] - the National Dance Academy in Sydney . These are pretty, capable and ambitious teenagers who are ready to devote their lives to the art of ballet . After only a year of intensive classes at the machine tool and in dance classes, they will have to show what their talents are worth. Which of the guys will be able to succeed, who will be able to catch the bird of luck by the tail? [2] [4] [5]
Tara Webster ( born Tara Webster ), around which the events of the series unfold, is a tender, romantically minded young lady in love with ballet. It is not surprising that the television movie is kind, sincere, creates a bright mood and is suitable for family viewing. The advantages of the picture include a very picturesque visual series: here are the rural landscapes of Australia , surrounded by Tara’s childhood [3] , and dance episodes [5] (ballet, hip-hop ), and finally, spectacular views of Sydney at night luminous skyscrapers , the ocean coast and the famous opera house , whose “petals” have become one of the symbols of modern Australia. The sound of the film is not inferior to the picturesque: for example, when watching the first series, viewers listen to the music of Igor Stravinsky from the ballet “The Firebird” and changing dance rhythms. Music creates a romantic mood, consonant with the attitude of a charming young girl who has her whole life ahead [2] [6] [7] .
