The Big Leap is an American musical comedy-drama television series created by Liz Heldons, based on the British reality miniseries Big Ballet. The Big Leap is a big-hearted, rowdy dramedy about a group of diverse, down-on-their-luck characters attempting to change their lives by participating in a potentially life-ruining reality dance show that builds to a live production of Swan Lake.
What this group of underdogs lack in dance training, they make up for with their edge, wit, and desire to reimagine an iconic story to fit their own mold. The Big Leap is a modern tale about second chances and chasing your dreams and taking back what’s yours. The Big Leap is an innovative show-within-a-show that takes viewers on a journey of self-acceptance, body-positivity, and empowerment at any age.
