The final ballet piece is GORGEOUS


The ballet created for the show (Davinni?) was absolutely gorgeous. I believe Ethan Stiefel helped choreograph it if not choreographed the whole thing. He played Cooper Neilson in Centerstage and is an outstanding dancer.

The whole piece at the end was so moving. From the water birth at the beginning to the proud confident woman at the end. It was danced so beautifully by the two principals (Sascha was also in Centerstage as Charlie btw). The dance really captured the stages of life like two kids playing innocently to two young adults experiencing their sexual awakening. I just loved it.

The only good scenes of this series were the dancing ones. The rest was very boring and repetitive along with bad acting. I'll agree the dance was pretty cool. I'm not a fan of ballet, mostly because I'm not a gay man (don't think that makes all the difference, but enough), but I really enjoyed it in the show.

I was surprised to see a touch of vulgarity with the two seemingly touching each other's privates.

I also thought the dance scenes - except at the strip club - were the best! It was nice to finally see the full dance sequence; amazing choreography & dancing from the two leads. I thought this (the series) was Center Stage on acid! I was prepared to watch back-stabbing mean girls, bleeding toes & eating disorders galore, but never this. I thought the acting was overall good, taking into consideration that most of them are professional dancers and not professional actors, but I did highly enjoy the acting of Ben Daniels - I thought it was superb.

I was very sad the story had Kira quitting before the performance. Irina Dvorovenko is still a beautiful dancer, despite being retired. She is MILES better than Sarah Hay. It Irina had danced it, it would have a fantastic piece. As is, I found it quite boring.

I thought it was quite boring, too. But I guess that means I have no business watching ballet.

It was brilliant and the way they mirrored Claire's personal story through the dance was very interesting. The couple part was the best part, imo. The actors nailed it.

Does anyone know if this dance will be performed on stage?

It seems to me that it would be too risqué, even for adult audiences.
