With the help of writer Tracy Oliver, the drama will follow a young, hip and diverse group of aspiring dancers as they compete for places in a top ballet company, reports Deadline. 

Oliver and Copeland will executive produce the show with Principato Young’s Brian Dobbins, Peter Principato and Paul Young.
