Tiny Pretty Things is the perfect title for a show that portrays their picture perfect dancers in the most minuscule way, by making them out to be little dolls and playthings that are used for the school’s namesake. Through murder, gossip, and bright lights, this show gives its audience a melodramatic package of the competition and hatred that is rooted within the characters and their craft. While the show may not have been the most polished, it’s extensive soundtrack definitely was one of the highlights. With a huge collection of songs that are featured throughout, there really wasn’t a dull musical moment within these hour long episodes. Perfect for a show about performing and dancing, there are so many amazing electronic tracks by artists such as Sigrid, Halsey, and MUNA that make it’s watchers feel the urge to get up and do the same, while the beautiful dance montages and performances pair perfectly with notable songs from rising stars like Harry Styles and Hozier.

Here are some of my selections from season one of Tiny Pretty Things:
