Ballet dancers are more than what meets the eye. They’re beautiful and graceful, but like everyone, they have their limits. The CW will tap into that unknown territory with the upcoming reality show Breaking Pointe.
This summer, The CW wants to push you to your Breaking Pointe. On May 31, the network will premiere the new reality series that centers on ballet.

You have to give everything you have, and sometimes, that’s still not enough. They don’t call the show Breaking Pointe for nothing.
