"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once." -Friedrich Nietzsche

Massie Block: she came to Dance Academy for one reason, and that's to reach the top of her ballet class and be United State's female ballet representative in the World Dance Cup. But it's no secret that ballet dancers hold a quarrel with the hip hop dancers in the academy. Once there, her perfect ballet world clashes with a certain puppy-eyed boy's hip hop world. And suddenly, they strike a bet: Massie has to learn to dance hip hop, unless she wants her fellow ballet dancers to become the servants of the hip hop dancers. Once she begins learning, though, two unbelievable things happen. One, Derrick's brown eyes suddenly become attractive. And two... she begins to prefer hip hop over ballet.

Claire Lyons: she's the dreamer kind of girl who comes from a small town, with big hopes for a fairytale ending. And she thinks she'll find one with Cam Fisher. He's not just a dancer, though, but that kind of mysterious guy who sings in cafes and every girl fawns over. He's the type of guy who probably doesn't know that shy Claire exists. So she deicides to transform herself into the academy's cruel queen bee. And if you might've noticed, there's no dancing in Claire's plan. Will she be able to keep her scholarship? And what if an incident will keep her away from dancing... forever?

Kristen Gregory: having started ballet class late (just two years before), she was surprised when she was awarded a scholarship to Dance Academy. To add to her surprise, she's in talks to star in the academy's Christmas presentation, which will develop from the idea of a ballerina falling in love with a swing dancer. And even though her possible co-star is Todd Lyons, Claire's older, cute, and funny brother, she's got her eyes out for none other than Cam. But that's not her main problem. Her mother's dislike for ballet is! If she doesn't want to join a special law program the following year, she'll have to shine in the Christmas presentation. Oh, and let's not forget he- well, let's leave that for later.

Alicia Rivera: doesn't even know why she's at Dance Academy. She wants to be a model, after all. But her mother wants her to follow her ballet steps. After all, Leesh is the daughter of the Nadia Rivera, just the most famous ballerina in the world. So, after getting a job as a model for a brand new fashion brand, she will lead a Hannah Montana-esque life. At day, she will dance. At night, she will model. But after her boss enrolls in a fashion walk-off competition, she's going to have to decide. It is exhausting to dance and model without any kind of break, after all. That plus her boss's player of a cousin, Kemp (who she has a crush on), might be too much of a heavy burden for Alicia, who's used to getting everything by just a snap of her fingers.

Dylan Marvil: all her life has been planned out by herself. She will become a ballet teacher, who will earn money by writing books. After all, writing is her passion (after ballet, of course). However, Josh Hotz was not part of her plan. To stop the rivarly between the ballet, the hip hop, and the jazz dancers, Dylan is faced to tutor the bully. What she didn't expect is to have him fall for her. And being the clueless girl she is, she will not find out until he's very much head over heels for the redhead. But his actions toward other students have her convinced that he's a complete jerk. However, for some reason, her mother (who's the academy's principal), somehow wants Josh and Dylan to happen...


Hey guys! I just wanted to say that this fanfic was inspired by the wonderful series, Dance Academy! I will not exactly follow any of Dance Academy's characters' storyline, though. I might take some elements, but they'll be different :)

Well, hopefully you'll give this a shot! This is completely AU, if you haven't noticed. Until next time :)
