Storyline

Christian Reed feels betrayed but objects not when Tara, who waved a fat damages claim, which her top lawyer probably would have won, in return for another audition at the National Ballet, isn't selected and accept to move to New York, moving in with Kat and her brilliant lover. She fails to pass any major audition, worse the Ollie, who co-created a novel choreography. Indomitable Ben Tickle has moved in with the senior teacher after recovering from his cancer and trains their tails off with Tara, but has another relapse.

User Reviews

What I needed

This film was great in the way it continued right where the series left off a few years prior. This film has so much emotion and I am glad they stayed with the original cast for this movie and it came across really well. I also loved that this movie showed that sometimes your dream isn't what you need and your ideas can change because of what happens to a person.
