Meet the cast of ‘Tiny Pretty Things’, Netflix’s drama about a mysterious ballet school

Netflix’s latest drama series, Tiny Pretty Things, is about a competitive ballet school and the cast looks incredibly cool.

The 10-part-series is all about an elite ballet school and when the show begins one of the star students mysteriously falls off the top of a building. Following the student’s death, the school recruits another ballet dancer who soon discovers a lot of dark secrets about the school.

The official synopsis says: “When tragedy strikes at Chicago’s most prestigious ballet school, where every dancer is both friend and foe who compete fiercely for coveted roles, it threatens to unravel close friendships and to expose a constellation of secrets that could bring down a world-renowned institution.

“When an attack brings down the star student at an elite ballet school, her replacement enters a world of lies, betrayal – and cutthroat competition.”

Tiny Pretty Things is based on the book by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton, and the cast features actual ballet dancers in starring roles.
