Think Cheer, but instead of cheerleading, it centers on ballet — a.k.a. the "unforgiving art form" — and the dancers who "can't live without it."

‘Can’t eat a gift card’: Rural food banks fight to put turkeys on the table

Smaller food banks, especially in rural areas, which have been struggling to meet the surging demand this year, are bracing for a rough winter. It was early November and Ames, the executive director of the Fauquier Community Food Bank and Thrift Store in Warrenton, Va., was preparing for a Thanksgiving food drive.

The show will feature unprecedented access to New York's prestigious School of American Ballet, upon which Center Stage's fictional American Ballet Academy was based. Chronicling the lives of world-class students age 8 to 18 pursuing their dreams of becoming professional ballet dancers in an uber-competitive environment, the series reveals what it's really like to make it as a professional dancer, including all the highs of success and the very low lows. While older students rigorously train for professional careers, younger students are put through their paces as they rehearse and perform in New York City Ballet's holiday classic George Balanchine's The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center.

On Pointe is produced by Imagine Documentaries and DCTV, with Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, and Matthew O'Neill serving as executive producers, and Larissa Bills directing and producing.
