Plot Synopsis

THE SECRET LIFE OF DANCING DOGS is a six-episode documentary series that follows seven women from around the globe and their furry friends, whose tails never stop wagging, as they spend months preparing to compete on the world's preeminent dog dancing stage, Crufts, in England. The series captures all the laughter and tears while the cast struggles through national qualifiers, battles fierce rivalries, copes with personal traumas, and manages a tough training regimen, all in preparation for the ultimate dog dancing competition. Dog dancing, also known as "Heelwork to Music," is a competitive sport where people choreograph dance routines with their four-legged canine partners. Performances are judged using an array of criteria, including musical interpretation, choreography, and the bond between handler and canine.
