Hey there so I started watching dance academy and I'm only on season 1 but need to share with someone and your blog just popped up. I am so confused as to why nobody online talks about how mean Abigail is? She's such a bitch. She sabotages Tara, steals things, is so mean and cruel with how she speaks to others, she showed everyone the photo of Tara kissing Christian and seems to go out of her way to make others feel bad. Does she change? Redeem herself? Thank u if you can reply! :)
Hey there! Sorry this is coming so late but welcome to the Dance Academy fandom! So the only thing I can tell you is that people love a good mean girl in fiction because oftentimes they're complex and have some reason for being that way.
Without giving too much away, I will say Abigail becomes a better version of herself throughout the series.

I saw your post from a while back about studying kids/teen shows and what works and what doesn’t. And you mentioned Dance Academy, and I’d be super interested to hear your thoughts on it ☺️
Dance Academy is one of my favorite YA shows, and I've never really watched it from a critical perspective as someone who wants to write that subgenre for TV. I've only watched it for fun -- and that it is.
Rewatching it solidifies my opinion that it's such an underrated teen drama. Sammy Lieberman and Abigail Armstrong are such strongly written characters that they've become some of my favorite characters in the subgenre.
The characters feel like reflections of actual young people rather than writers guessing what young people sound like, live like, act like, etc.
It's just a good show, in my opinion.

pls talk about dance academy and abigail
OMG. Ok. OK! First of all sorry for taking forever- this ask made me so happy and I wanted to make sure to do it justice. This was in reply to sth I reblogged about what character you love from an obscure show that not enough people talk about. My reply was Abigail Armstrong from the Australian kids show Dance Academy (2010-2013). So *deep breath*…
First of all Dance Academy is so incredibly joyful. It’s about a group of teens who are chosen to attend a prestigious ballet school in Sydney. I’d say it skews slightly younger than say Gossip Girl or Elite, is more realistic/less scandalous than those shows and makes you feel warm and happy (except for that one storyline that’ll rip your heart out and leave you sobbing on the ground- IYKYK). The actors are a lot better than in most shows targeted at young teens, you get to see a lot of ballet, which is always good, and the characters are well-rounded and grow throughout the show. Which brings me to…
Abigail Armstrong, played by Dena Kaplan. Abigail starts the show as the antagonist to wide-eyed newbie Tara, the protagonist (and least interesting character IMO). Abigail is the quintessential mean girl: arrogant, snippy, wants to be the best at all costs- kind of a bitch. But it doesn’t take long for her to open up and begin to make friends w the main group. We learn about the sacrifices she’s had to make to get to where she is, and how she’s struggling because her body isn’t as naturally thin and ballet-dancer-like as Tara’s, for example. In short, she’s exactly the type of character I love on every show I watch 😅 Abigail is also witty, a beautifully expressive dancer, and one half of the show‘s sweetest relationship once she starts falling for her pas-de-deux partner Sammy. She’s mean to him at first because his dancing isn’t up to her standards, then he slowly warms her heart- it’s the best. Abigail is a really interesting character and Dena does a great job revealing all her layers over time. I just really, really love Abigail and I wish more people I know watched Dance Academy! All the episodes are on YouTube and Netflix (at least in Germany), so what are you waiting for?
Bonus: Today Dena teaches dance classes in various Australian cities, is a DJ and openly talks about her struggles with mental health and prescription medication on Instagram in an effort to destigmatize the conversation around mental health. She seems really cool. Most recently she had a supporting role in the romcom Long story short, which I highly recommend!
EDIT: It‘s not on Netflix anymore, but the full episodes ARE on YouTube.

Abigail is a bitch - DA
So I'm way late to watching this and am on season 1. But why does nobody talk about how much of a bitch Abigail is? She sabotages Tara's audition, steals, plagerizes her assignment, is constantly belittling those around her and goes out of her way to embarrass, hurt and isolate Tara? She's just so cruel! And nobody calls her out on her bad behaviour and she always seems to get away with it. I see a lot of people online hating on Tara but not calling Abigail out?
So does she redeem herself? Apologise to others? Or what?

Abigail is the best character from Dance Academy. I also loved her growth and her arc.
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
idk if i'd say she's *the* best character, but she's definitely up there. i didn't like her as a kid, but the older i get and the more i rewatch the show the more i appreciate her and the way she grows and changes from s1 right through to the movie. in terms of development, she definitely is the best.

Abigail Armstrong and Oliver Lloyd's friendship is goals. They're such an underrrated pair.
