Tara and her friends are now seniors at the Academy, and no one can forget for a second that the Company is watching.

If Second Year broke your heart, this is the year that will lift you up and prove it is in risking everything, failing spectacularly and then starting again, that you will become extraordinary.
Tara and her friends began their training as kids, with a lot to learn about dancing, life and themselves. This year will prepare them to say goodbye to their school days forever, and go out into the world as resilient, courageous dancers and young adults who are ready for anything.
