Summary: Starlight Dancers, created in June of 2010, was originally inspired by girloftheyearstudios (on YouTube) Star Quality (was was unfortuantely cancled in the beginning of the second season) It starts as Asha (Christina Maxwell), Meagan (Maggie O'Connor), Cara (Mia St. Clair), Alyssa (Paige Hamilton), and Anna (Ruthie Smithens) express their passion for dance through Starlight Dancers. Their dance instructor, Ms. Aubrey (Julie Albright), announces their acceptance into the Ember Middle School State Finals and Meagan and Asha both want the part as the soloist in their dance routine. That's when the tension grows and the show takes a rather dramatic twist.
