“We wanted the dancers to feel represented in their athleticism, and in the sometimes ugly business of making something beautiful,” says executive producer Jordanna Fraiberg. That was paramount to the production team.

While the series can verge on melodrama-the pilot does open with a dancer being pushed off a roof, after all-its depiction of the finer details of the ballet world feels spot-on. Neveah Stroyer, who’d previously been rejected from the school, is flown in from L.A. During the first three minutes of the episode (no spoilers!), star student Cassie Shore is pirouetting along the edge of the roof of the school when she’s pushed off by a hooded man (Her boyfriend? A jealous lover? A ballet master or choreographer?) and dies. Here are the basics of that plot: The Archer School of Ballet is the premiere conservatory in Chicago.
And the intricate plot is propelled by equally breathtaking ballet sequences. It touches on, well, everything: love, murder, racism, competition, jealousy, girl cliques, sexual experimentation, eating disorders.
The pilot of Netflix’s dance-centric series “Tiny Pretty Things”-based on the YA novel by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton-will leave you breathless.
