Stars & Strides

Let go of control and lead with your heart.

 

Writers' Room: Marina Cardozo, Lejla Demiri, Kira Duckwitz, Anna Richards, Insiah Zaidi

 

Romantic Comedy  |  8 Episodes x 30 minutes

Once a rising ballroom star, Valerie’s career ended in scandal when she changed choreography mid-routine—only for her partner to walk off the floor in betrayal. Now, desperate for redemption, she joins Stars & Strides, a glitzy celebrity dance competition, hoping to prove she still has what it takes. Her celebrity partner? Bea, a bubbly beauty influencer more interested in fame than footwork. From the start, their clashing priorities and personalities make for an explosive pairing. But as rehearsals intensify and cameras close in, a deeper connection starts to emerge.

​

While Valerie tries to reclaim her status in the dance world, Bea is fending off public pressure, a controlling manager, and the surprise presence of her ex, who is also a contestant. Through grueling rehearsals, public scrutiny, and media frenzy, the duo’s initial friction gives way to unexpected intimacy. As flirtation turns to feelings, their biggest challenge becomes navigating the spotlight while staying true to themselves and each other. Will they crumble under pressure or find freedom on the dance floor?

​

Stars & Strides takes a look behind the glitz and glamour of reality TV to show the backstage drama and pressures of competition. The romantic comedy drama is about ambition, connection, and maybe even true love.
