Dance Academy – the feature film spin-off of the beloved television series will officially premiere this month in Sydney, its home town.

At a red carpet event at the Event Cinemas in George Street on Sunday 26^th March, the Dance Academy cast will be joined by key creatives, investors, stakeholders and some very lucky competition winners to be the first to see the new flick.

The film follows former ballet student Tara Webster, who was destined to become one of the top dancers of her generation before a devastating injury crippled her career.

Over the last eighteen months she has tried to move on and embrace life as a university student but cannot get over her dream of dancing professionally.

Haunted by her past, by the night she was injured, Tara embarks on a near impossible comeback, leaving her life and love behind in Sydney, determined to prove to the ballet world (not to mention herself) she still has what it takes.

Fans will also be able to participate in the Dance Academy movie buzz, with the opportunity to ask a series of questions to Executive Producer Joanna Werner and cast member Alicia Banit (Kat) in a special ACTF Q&A webinar for Australian primary and secondary students.

Dance Academy: The Movie is released in Australian cinemas from April 6.
