Willa Davies is fourteen years old, she looks like Dena’h Gregory and is available.

Talent: Willa was put into dance at four years old, just like most little girls. She took to it though and by the age of six she was on the competition team. She had natural flexibility and grace which benefited her whenever she took to the stage. As she grew she just kept progressing and started winning every competition she entered. With her natural talent for lyrical and contemporary Willa became the one to beat and is known in the dance world as a force to reckoned with.

Personality: Willa is a peaceful girl. She’s scared of confrontation and does her best to keep everyone happy at all times. Despite being tall and thin Willa isn’t that confident in herself and hates being the center of attention. She likes to have a small group of friends and she prefers listening to talking. Willa will do anything for her friends and her family because they are her number one priority. Willa doesn’t mind if she’s not happy as long as the people around her are.

Milo Watson is ten years old, he looks like Lucas Triana and is available.

Talent: From the age of 18 months to five years, Milo was entered in beauty pageants and attended ballet classes per his mother’s wishes. However when it was time for him to start school, Milo’s father put his foot down and insisted that his son stop with ballet and pageants and focus on sports more appropriate for boys, like soccer. At first Milo’s mom agreed, but she soon managed to convince Milo’s dad to allow their son to take dance class twice a week in addition to soccer. For the next four years Milo went back and forth between soccer practice and dance lessons, slowly increasing the number of dance classes per week while decreasing the amount of soccer practices. At last, when he was nine years old Milo successfully auditioned for his studio’s competition team and he quit soccer altogether, devoting 100% of his time to dance.

Personality: Milo is confident, but never cocky and is loyal to the end. Once he makes up his mind to do something he will stick with it, like he did when he decided to quit soccer in order to pursue dance. As a male dancer he is aware that he holds a certain status in the dance world and is always joking around with the girls at his studio and his school. He has endured bullying as a male dancer but has pushed through and is fairly popular both at school and outside of it. Due to this bullying, Milo is always willing to meet new people and make new friends no matter what they look like or what he has heard other people say about them. Milo is fiercely protective of his family, especially his mom and he maintains a close relationship with his siblings.

Skye Andrews is sixteen years old, she looks like Hayden Hopkins and is available.

Talent: Skye taught herself to dance starting from when she was six. She saw the girls on the TV and she wanted to be more like them, graceful and talented. She started teaching herself by watching videos and it wasn’t until she turned ten that her parents noticed her skill. They enrolled her in dance and she just continued to get better and better and it wasn’t long until she was one of the best students at her dance school. She is an incredibly hard worker and dreams of a life on the stage, where she can put her passion to good use.

Personality: Skye is a chatterbox, she only stops talking enough to take a breath and collect her thoughts. Although she seems to like the sound of her own voice Skye does do her best to befriend as many people as possible. She’s not the best listener in the world but she tries and given that her brain seems to run a mile a minute she should probably be rewarded for her effort. She doesn’t mean to be rude she just loves to talk, about anything and everything. Silences are rare when Skye is around but her bubbly personality can light up any room.

Luca di Michele is eight years old, he looks like Gavin Morales and is available.

Talent: Luca started dancing because his older sister danced, and at the age of four he just wanted to be wherever she was. The studio that the pair attended hadn’t had a male dancer for a few years by that stage and he was doted on by teachers attempting to mould him into the perfect male dancer. Luca’s attention was far from the pretty lyrical numbers his choreographers wanted him to master and instead he focused on mastering the jazz and hip hop styles, taking pleasure in acting out a character on stage and seeing the audience smile and laugh. By the age of seven Luca was dancing on the competition team and winning wherever he went. However despite his dancing success, it wasn’t until he won his very first title and was praised for his technique that Luca really decided to settle down and focus on all types of dance.

Personality: Luca is a typical, happy-go-lucky kid. He does well at school based both on his vibrant personality and interactions with other children. Unlike a lot of male dancers, Luca has never been teased for his dancing and instead enjoys showing off to his friends and strangers alike during his lunch breaks. Considering his young age, Luca doesn’t really have a strong sense of self-control and can often make bragging comments about his dancing. His sister is quick to correct him if this happens at competitions, but he is fairly unrestrained at school and he doesn’t see anything wrong with describing his wins and prowess at dance. Luca is not afraid to be loving or show how much he cares for his family and friends and will not hesitate to hold hands with his friends at competitions or kiss his mother in public. Despite his bragging comments, Luca is a sweet boy and means well – his family expects his comments to slow as he matures and realizes that they’re not the write thing to say.

Chrissy Wilson is eight years old, she looks like Mackenzie Zieglerand is available.

Talent: Chrissy started out in gymnastics with her twin sister and she was good at it but she was constantly being pitted against her sister and Chrissy tended to come out as the loser. She loved it but she wanted to be herself and so she was put into dance. Her gymnastics background lended itself well to acro and the tumbling elements of her dances but she struggled with the more emotional side of her performances. Chrissy felt a lot more at home when she was dancing because could be herself without all of the pressure of living up to her twin sister’s talent.

Personality: Chrissy often speaks before her brain can catch up with mouth which leads her to some awkward situations. She doesn’t mean to hurt people’s feelings but she tends to say what is one her mind and forgets to screen herself. Although it can be hurtful most of the time Chrissy’s outbursts are just comical and people put it down to the typical ‘out of the mouths of babes’. She hates seeing people sad and will do anything in order to get them to cheer up, including her signature ‘silly dance’.

Ian Chu is eleven years old, he looks like Sean Lew and is available.

Talent: When he was only three years old, Ian was introduced to the piano by his classical musician parents. The young boy displayed an amazing sense of rhythm and timing, and when he was five his parents signed him up for dance classes to see what he could do with a different type of music. Ian took to it as easily as he had taken to the piano, quickly making a name for himself with his sharp moves, ability to pick up choreography and genuine love for the art of dance. After making his competition team at the age of eight, Ian has dreamed of one day opening his own dance studio. In his spare time he choreographs his own routines, which he gives to his closest friends to perform, and then films and posts on youtube. With the help of his parents and sisters, Ian also mixes together his own music for these numbers -sometimes he mixes popular songs together with a computer program; other times he creates a piano cover – he still plays piano, although he no longer takes lessons due to his busy dance schedule – of pop songs to use instead. Ian’s youtube videos are almost as popular as his solos and he has created a name for himself both inside and outside of the dance industry.

Personality: In a nutshell, Ian is a funny and charismatic young boy. He has a joke or witty quip for every situation, although he is acutely aware of others’ feelings and would never crack a joke at someone’s expense. He constantly teases his friends, but takes care to choreograph routines in their favorite styles or to one of their favorite songs whenever he plans on asking them to participate in one of his videos. Ian is also very, very confident and can sometimes come across as egotistical although that is never his true intention. When speaking to adults or strangers he is very helpful and always has a smile and he excels at making conversation no matter whom he is talking to. Ian is also a hard worker and receives good marks in every he does – be it school tests, piano exams or dance competitions; although he is very easily distracted.

Rosie Baker is twelve years old, she looks like Jordyn Jones and is available.

Talent: Rosie’s mom wanted her baby girl to become a gorgeous ballerina so she enrolled Rosie in dance classes at two years old. Although Rosie showed impeccable rhythm and ability to pick up choreography she didn’t fall in love with ballet like her mom had hoped. Instead Rosie took a shine to hip hop and jazz. She possess a natural energy for the faster paced dance styles and is one of the most noted dancers in California. 

Personality: Rosie is always full of energy. As a young child she hated standing still and even at twelve Rosie much prefers to be moving. She’s constantly dancing or running around and the idea of sitting in a classroom all day fills her with dread. Rosie is a bright student but because of her hyperactivity she often falls behind in school. The teachers at Rosie’s old school suggested that she may suffer from ADHD but she has never been clinically diagnosed.

Levi McCormick is fifteen years old, he looks like Nick Dobbs and is available.

Talent: Unlike most male dancers, Levi was not coaxed into joining dance by an overbearing mother longing for a daughter nor did a talented dancing sister inspire him. At the age of three Levi danced along with the children’s group The Wiggles on his TV screen and tried to copy all of their moves. His mother, surprised at her son’s sense of rhythm and music, signed him up for jazz lessons twice a week to see if he would enjoy them. Three years later Levi made his studio’s competition team, the youngest dancer to do so in the studio’s history. By this stage he took dance class at least four times a week for 2 – 3 hours each time and learnt multiple styles instead of just jazz. His technique and personality shone through on stage and by the time he entered the junior category at the age of nine years old Levi had built himself quite a reputation in the dance industry.

Personality: Levi is very confident and loud whenever he is at his studio or something dance-related. He spends most of his time in lessons laughing with his friends and is very caring to younger students, providing an older brother image for the vast majority of junior and mini dancers in his studio. However, whenever he steps outside of the dance world he becomes painfully shy and very quiet. He spends most of his time as an observer and will silently sit and watch people around him talking as opposed to joining in. He struggled with schoolwork, partially because he was too afraid to ask his teacher’s for help when he didn’t understand something and was bullied for both his difficulties and his love for dance. His mother eventually realized there were problems at school and made the decision to homeschool Levi when he was ten years old. The boy’s grades improved significantly, and he now has more time for dancing which meant that more often he was the happy, confident boy that dancing brought out of him.

Daisy Parker is fourteen years old, she looks like Elle Fanning and is available.

Talent: Daisy’s older sister was famous before Daisy could even talk. She was taken from set to set to see her sister work and it made Daisy dream of that life too. She started at their local stage school and it was soon obvious that she had the same talent as her sister. Daisy didn’t want to go straight into the industry though and she plans to spend her childhood years getting better and better so that by the time she’s eighteen she’s ready for hollywood and given her incredible talent, it’s likely that hollywood will be ready for her.

Personality: If there was one word to describe Daisy would be awkward,  with her skinny but tall frame she even manages to look awkward. Daisy stumbles over her words a lot and usually ends up in fits of uncontrollable giggles. She’s usually smiling and she tends to embarrass herself more often than she likes. She doesn’t mind though and she won’t be upset if you happen to laugh. When she’s on stage reciting lines that have been prewritten she’s flawless, but when she’s on the spot and has to think of them for herself, it can end up being quite humorous. 

Jane Clements is nine years old, she looks like Lauren Boles and is available.

Talent: Becoming someone else was always Jane’s way to escape. If she felt uncomfortable she’d pull on an Irish accent to try and calm herself, if bullies were picking on her she’d take on the role of a tough Russian. Her ability to become whoever she wanted whenever quickly made it’s way to the stage where Jane was most comfortable. When she was just seven years old she was in her towns production and a Juilliard agent told her that they wanted her when she was eighteen.

Personality: Jane is very insecure so she uses her character’s as a safety blanket. Whenever she feels awkward being Jane she just turns into someone else, taking on a different name, backstory and accent. There are very few people that Jane feels comfortable around and most of the time she’s being someone else rather than herself. She can be very quiet but she’s also incredibly perceptive and picks up on how other people are feeling incredibly well which makes her a great person to talk to if you’re feeling down.

Hugo Olivier is fifteenyears old, he looks like Nathan Gamble and is available.

Talent: Hugo was born into show business. His mother’s pregnancy was heavily documented and his first baby pictures were sold for millions of dollars to OKmagazine. The whole world waited with baited breath to see whether Hugo would take to the Broadway stage and choreographing business like his father; or whether he would model in children’s catalogues until he could strut down the runway like his mother. Needless to say, everyone was somewhat alarmed when Hugo’s parents withdrew him from the public eye when he was four years old and kept him firmly under wraps for several years afterwards, only allowing tiny glimpses of him to get through to the rest of the world. Finally, when Hugo was eleven years old he reemerged into the public eye as the star of his dad’s directing debut. Most people reacted with scorn, assuming the young boy only had the role due to his parents; but when the movie was finally released Hugo’s performance put the critics to shame and impressed agents everywhere. He has steadily been taking on small roles in TV shows since his acting debut, but per his parents’ wishes has turned down movie roles ever since.

Personality: Hugo is cocky, snarky and sarcastic, largely due to a lack of interaction with people outside of his family and their employees. He is very bossy and commanding and is used to getting his way due to his parents’ influence and their staff’s willingness to serve him. The boy does possess a great talent for acting and he thoroughly enjoys it, however he is lazy and willing to sit back and relax until a role comes along that his parents’ can secure for him instead of partaking in auditions. He is also disobedient and petulant and will sometimes go out of his way to irritate the staff and go against what they are asking him to do, even if it is on behalf of his parents. Hugo has never truly been in trouble a day in his life, so he believes he can get away with murder. Despite his overall unpleasantness, Hugo’s parents have schooled him well on how to properly treat people and whenever he is introduced to their friends or potential casting directors and other influential people he is all charms.

Meghan Rees is fifteen years old, she looks like Ariel Winter and is available.

Talent: Meghan always enjoyed doing silly accents and putting on plays for her parents but it wasn’t until her middle school did a production of Legally Blonde in which Meghan was cast as Paulette that Meghan realised she belonged on the stage. She has a good voice but it was her acting that got everyone’s attention. She was comical and had perfect timing but she also showed hints of desperation and loss that no-one had expected in what is normally seen as a shallow character. That is Meghan’s gift, she sees deeper into a character than just what has been told.

Personality: Meghan was bullied throughout elementary school and it caused her to become very introverted. She changed districts for middle school and managed to make a lot of friends but the insecurities never truly welt away. Meghan knows she’s more than what people see when they look at her and she takes that approach onto her characters, she wants to show that they aren’t just shallow, that they have depth just like every person you will ever meet. Meghan is a very welcoming little girl and does her best to protect people from what she experienced.

Adam Beckingham is eleven years old, he looks like Davis Cleveland and is available.

Talent: Adam was born two and a half months early and suffered multiple medical complications in his first few years of life. Later, he didn’t reach the regular milestones at the right rate and both doctors and his mother feared that he had mental disabilities previously unrecognized in earlier examinations. However Adam pushed through and by the time he was ready to start school he was progressing at a normal rate, although he was tiny compared to his classmates. After experiencing what she did with her son’s early birth and subsequent medical complications, Adam’s mother continued volunteering at the hospital he had been born in and spent his first few years of life in. Adam accompanied her often and loved making the other kids recovering from surgery or injuries of some sort laugh by pretending to be characters from movies or making their toys come to life with silly accents and differently pitched voices. After seeing the way Adam lapped up the attention bestowed upon him by his “audience,” his mother decided to sign him up for acting lessons. Adam took to them immediately, having already perfected the art of voice acting all he needed to learn was how to act with his body as well. Adam’s small size also did him a small favor in the industry as talent scouts loved that he could play younger characters but had the maturity of an older boy when working with him behind the scenes.

Personality: Adam loves making people laugh and hates seeing anyone cry. If he spots someone with tears on their face, be they stranger or friend he makes it his mission to go over to them and make them smile or laugh. He is aware that he is a very lucky boy considering what happened earlier in his life and rarely takes any opportunity for granted. He makes the most of every situation and is an optimist. He hopes to be an actor in his future, but he also takes lessons in scriptwriting and directing so that he can make the most of the industry one day. Adam is a good friend and is very down to Earth, he never brags about his talent and he doesn’t think very highly of those that do.

Lara Webster is eighteen years old, she looks like Emily Osment and is available.

Talent: Lara had always dreamt of a life in front of the camera and she joined every acting club in their local area. She liked being able to take on someone else’s story and the idea of being paid for that was a dream for her. She knew that hollywood was filled with blonde haired preppy girls but she wanted to be one of them, she wanted to be the girl that others clamoured for a picture of. She started getting the main parts in every production by the time she was ten and she was ready to show the world that she could do it, and that she would.

Personality: Lara has always been wise beyond her years and incredibly mature. She knows how to behave and she looks after everyone younger than her, whether they’re her family or not. She is incredibly caring and would never step on someone to get something, even if it was her dream role. She believes in hard work and is really bothered by people who think you can get to where you want with just a flutter of your eyelashes or a lot of good luck. Lara is incredibly protective over her sister and wouldn’t hesitate to get her own back on anyone who hurts her.

Dante Neale is sixteen years old, he looks like Asa Butterfield and is available.

Talent: As a young child, Dante was very shy and withdrawn - until he was pushed into a more furious reaction by the multiple school bullies. After continuous angry outbursts at school, Dante’s mother enrolled him in an after school drama program at the age of nine in an effort to redirect her son’s emotion. Surprisingly, Dante took to acting straightaway and slowly his outbursts lessened. He learnt to control his emotions around pushy bullies and began auditioning for school productions, which put him in the eye of his drama teachers and through them, talent scouts.

Personality: Dante is still withdrawn, but acting allows everyone to see a glimpse of the real boy. He is very emotional, not just angry or sad but happy and honest as well. In acting out all the different characters and exploring the many different technicalities involved in acting, Dante really comes to life. He is very determined, as well as intelligent and he plans on making something of his life. With other people he is brutally honest and can come across quite blunt, however he rarely means anyone harm and is just trying to tell the truth.

Kia Owens is sixteen years old, she looks like Lisa Cimorelli and is available.

Talent: Kia and her sisters have always been known as the Von Trapps by their friends but it was always Kia’s voice that stood out. Kia was also the one who wrote their original songs and took most of the solos. Kia had never thought about going solo but her voice was so distinct that it was all everyone talked about. Kia just enjoys music and singing brings her happiness. She loves to write music but singing and performing is where her heart really lies, she couldn’t imagine writing songs for other people to perform.

Personality: In her family Kia is known as the ‘sunny one’. It is rare to see Kia without her signature smile because she’s a very positive person. Kia believes in choosing happiness and sees set backs as obstacles rather than blocks. She’s very passionate and won’t let anything stand in her way. Because of her large family Kia is very good with the younger kids and will help anyone who is struggling. She’s also a bit of a class clown and loves to make other people laugh, even if it makes her look silly. 

Violet Young is eighteen years old, she looks like Megan Nicole and is available.

Talent: Violet had never thought of herself as a singer, from a young age she showed an affinity for music but she housed that in her love for instruments. By the age of ten she could play the piano, guitar, flute, cello and the drums but still had yet to try singing. It was when she turned eleven that she first sang in front of anyone, each child in her music class was given a short solo in the show but when Violet opened her mouth her audience were stunned. Her parents automatically put her into voice lessons and she’s never looked back.

Personality: Being in the spotlight has never been something Violet wanted. With six older siblings she is used to being in the shadows and she likes it that way. She enjoys accompanying other people and being on stage whilst they perform but the idea of standing on her own on a large stage fills her with dread. Violet is a very kind young girl but she’s painfully shy and finds it very hard to make friends or even speak to people that she hasn’t known for a very long time. Her parents started her at St Michaels when she was twelve and she’s only managed to make a few friends but she’s trying to open herself up.
