Second Position

PG-13
Second Position is an original fanfiction inspired by the beloved Australian television series Dance Academy.

Set within the same world as the National Academy of Dance, this story follows new student Eloise "Ellie" Rhiannon, a fiercely talented and emotionally guarded dancer, who is suddenly thrust into the competitive, chaotic, and deeply personal world of elite ballet.

Though the familiar faces of Tara, Kat, Sammy, Christian, Abigail, and Ethan remain central, Ellie brings a fresh perspective to the Academy's halls-one shaped by her complex family history, her unexpected affinity for hip hop, and a quiet grief that hasn't quite figured out how to name.

This story blends canon events with original scenes, weaving Ellie seamlessly into the heart of the narrative while preserving the spirit, humor, and heartbreak of Dance Academy.

This is a love letter to fans of the show, offering a what-if lens into the original timeline with an emotionally grounded, character-driven twist.

Enjoy!
