Cast and Synopsis

Casting is subject to change

22 Episodes

Shake off the cobwebs.
Take your marks.
The only way out is through.

Groups of dancers appear;
soloists, duets, and trios, all in a celebration of pure dance.
Episodes ebb and flow, characters emerge, then melt back into the ensemble.

Two couples appear.
One growing closer together, 
another falling further apart.

Driven forward by the music, 
dancers forge ahead on their own path.

One door opens another door closes.
