Jennifer Beals, star of one of the most iconic dance movies ever, Flashdance, has teamed with Kenny Ortega, choreographer and director-producer of the High School Musical franchise, and James Larosa, creator of VH1’s cheerleading drama series Hit the Floor, for The Edge, a dance drama that has been set up at Fox.
Written and executive produced by Larosa, The Edge is set in the LA dance world, where it’s survival of the fittest. And no one is more fit than this ensemble of ambitious, sometimes ruthless women and men who have trained their whole lives to be the best and won’t let anything—or anyone—get in their way.
Beals, Ortega and Larosa executive produce; there are no current plans for Beals to act. Annie Burgstede and Joanna Colbert co-executive produce. Sony Pictures TV is the studio.
