Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

HannahSwan2017 They act like the next step studio is a big deal but when they get to regionals they say they have never made it to semifinals in the past. The script just gets worse as it goes on. There is no legacy, no reason why the students were acting the way they were in the beginning. It is interesting and has a unique style that can capture an audience. You realise early on that the actors are better at dancing than they are at acting, however for first timers they do pretty well for teen drama. The killer for me is that the studio owner and staff display behaviour that is off the charts dramatic, strange and not at all qualities of leaders of young teens. As a result any time where there should be consequences, the opportunities for students to grow personally, etc, they have been robbed from this show. The reality is that the students will be adults soon enough and so will some of the viewers. Where is the personal growth and students sticking up for themselves when they are bullied? The students do not even feel comfortable going to the adults to confide in them. Instead they scheme behind close doors, do not know how to express feelings to one another and freeze whenever confronted. What a team and good environment for your kids. Not. There is no accountability for the dance captains and it seems like a bizarre free for all, instead of a prestige dance studio. I guess they should consider if they are more like the street crew Seeds after all.

milissa this show is the best i have ever seen on TV in my entire life. Great for kids, tweens, teens, and even adults! this show get's to much hate so don't listen to the other reviews because I know you will love it. The dancing is amazing (especially from briar nolet who plays Richelle), I agree the acting isn't the best in the world but it is still good and the dancing and story lines makes up for it 100%. I truly recommend you watch this show, you will not regret it I promise.

jaydentaylors The Next Step was pretty enjoyable with the engaging characters, the story lines, drama, experiencing a new concept of the show (mockumentary style)it was pretty good. But as every season goes by the show constantly changes, it has lost it's mockumentary style, it focuses on Jiley ALOTT, the story lines are getting repetitive (too much love triangles),a lot of new cast members are introduced but leave the following season, new characters aren't engaging nor is the drama and too much boring fillers. Season 5 is definitely an improvement but just not good enough. It's still worth watching but I probably have just outgrowned this show.

susanpariseau-679-553426 My chief complaint is what the subject matter is teaching children, or the age bracket this is supposed to attract. Blackmail, lying, cheating, arguments, sneaky underhanded actions are rewarded. Bullying and mean girls are cool and the adults are oblivious! Love is falling for one person, and 5 minutes later you are in love with another. What young man is going to have a dance off with the prize for the winner being the a fore boys girlfriend. Seriously, are girls tokens or a prize that can be won? That is demeaning and derogatory. Where are the adults when all of this bickering and back biting is going on, to include their parents? That being sneaky and underhanded gets you ahead. Who is choreographing the routines? The adults in this are portrayed as sitting in their office and once in a blue moon coming out to see what is going on. Now you have a girl who is the captain of Elite Studio pretending to be a member of Next Step studio. Sneaking to another studio to record the competitions routines. The kids having injuries but not consulting the adults. Kids in life circumstances making horrible decisions and not seeking advice from anyone who may have a clue. Thankfully my children and grand children have always felt comfortable enough to talk to me about anything and everything. I could go on with my complaints but I think you get what I am trying to say. Improve the acting, dialog, and the subject matter of the show. Kids are not stupid but impressionable. The advice you are giving in many situations is bad advice. Please, reconsider what you are showing our youngsters, you are doing a disservice to them.
