One Step Forward

• When I was younger, I never missed a single episode of this show! I loved the music, the dancing, and I had a crush on Pedro. Whenever there are reruns, I still watch—it keeps me entertained and I have fun reciting the lines because I know the episodes by heart! I was so disappointed when the series came to an end :/

• It's a fantastic show! It was with us throughout our middle school years and made us dream of joining a performing arts academy just like this one. It's lively, with dancing, singing, stage shows, romance, and friendship—in short, this series is by far the best in my book!

• I liked this series for its cultural side: I'm passionate about the performing arts, and despite some mediocre music, there are very interesting things to learn about dance, singing, acting, and more. A few less romantic subplots would have been welcome, but still! The show isn't bad at all!

• A 2000s series that made me dream of dancing, friendship crews, and romance throughout my youth. So no, I'm not going to disown it. I bought every season on DVD back in the day and I admit that even today I still enjoy rewatching them. It's kitsch, but you have to take it with a sense of humor. For the length of an episode, I turn back into a little kid drooling over Roberto, singing and grooving to songs I know by heart. And damn, it feels good once in a while!

• It would be dishonest to give anything less to the show I've watched most in my life. It made me want to live in Spain, look like Mónica Cruz (still true today), marry Roberto, slap some sense into Lola & Pedro (yes, I still had some lucidity left), and join Carmen Arranz's academy.
