dirac Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 An overview of ballet-themed series and films available on streaming services by Shannon Melero for Jezebel. Quote For a more updated look on the lives of ballet-obsessed children look no further than Disney’s On Pointe. The documentary follows the 2019-2020 school season for the youth division at the School of American Ballet, one of the most prestigious ballet schools in the US. The series follows several different children and a few teens as the school prepares for Lincoln Center’s annual Nutcracker performance, which features children from the school. And while the documentary is limited in scope considering Disney’s need to be extremely family-friendly, what kept me coming back to this series was the dichotomy between students with money and students without.
