RAs Hi, my name’s Lara. I'm 13, and I'm from San Francisco, California, in the U.S.
My sister Megan and | are dancers. My favorite dance is hip-hop, and Megan’s
favorite dance is contemporary.

At home, our favorite hobby is watching TV, and one of our favorite TV shows is
The Next Step. It's on TV every night, and it’s awesome!

The Next Step is a reality drama. It's about a group of young Canadian dancers at
The Next Step dance studio in Toronto, in Canada. The stories on the show are very
interesting, with competitions, great dances, and arguments between the dancers, too!

All the dancers are amazing. And all the dance styles on the show-from ballet to
street dance-are fantastic.

My two favorite dancers on the show are Richelle and LaTroy. In real life, their
names are Briar Nolet and Akiel Julien. Briar is also a gymnast-she's very talented!
Akiel is from Grenada, but now his home is in Toronto.

Is The Next Step on TV in your country? Are you a fan of dance?
If the answers to these questions are yes, then The Next Step
is the show for you!
