'Are the actors in Tiny Pretty Things real dancers' is a frequent question asked by the netizens. Thus, to ensure that the main characters are convincingly on the path to becoming professional dancers, the makers made sure to cast only trained dancers. According to the reports by Dance Spirit, no actor in the dance drama has a dance double.

The choreographer while speaking to the outlet said that to be at that level of dance skills is a huge feat and to be a brilliant actor on top of it is difficult. The cast selection process went up to three months and across many continents, especially for the casting of two of the lead roles which ultimately went to Kylie Jefferson and Barton Cowperthwaite. 

The drama begins with a tragedy where a star ballet student mysteriously falls from a building. In the aftermath of her death, the school replaces her with another student and in the later scenes, she can be seen discovering the dark maze of secrets that brings down Chicago’s prestigious ballet school.
