Synopsis
The Next Step is the biggest show on CBBC. The drama tells stories from the life of dancers at The Next Step Studios. It's shot in a "reality show" style, intercutting the action with pieces to camera.
The drama is a Canadian production, but that didn't stop them from asking for a British dancer to appear on the show. Taking The Next Step follows the auditions and studio final.
Judges are Kimberly Wyatt, singer and dancer and reality show regular; John Partridge, former dance captain for the musical Cats; and Simeon Qysea, choreographer for The Next Step.
Four episodes followed the usual talent show auditions: a solo performance, critique, reveal of whether the dancer would progress from "Regionals" to "Nationals". A unanimous verdict was required for progression.
The best returned for further exercises. Dancers were to learn choreography and add a personal touch. The best came back for improvised acting, and a further dance solo reduced the numbers to six.
These finalists went to Toronto, where they toured The Next Step studio, danced and acted with the regular cast, and the last finalists filmed their introductory scene.
A winner emerged, his acting was shown on episodes of The Next Step about a month later.
Key moments
The unalloyed glee with which the successful six took in their tour of the studios. Dancing with your television heroes is a moment to remember.
