The Dance Academy cast trained full time for five weeks to prepare for season two. Watch this behind the scenes video to get a sense of what they go through to play dancers on TV:

"We were doing like five dance classes a day, plus personal training, plus going to the gym, acting training... it was unbelievable." - Dena Kaplan (Abigail)

Season two of Dance Academy starts tonight at 9pm et! I can't wait to "meet" the new characters.

Justin Kelly (Jake) and Sam Earle (K.C.) work on their dance moves in this behind-the-scenes video shot on the set of "Can't Tell Me Nothing, pt. 2."

Chloe Rose (Katie) and Luke Bilyk (Drew) played a lot of soccer on the set of "Can't Tell Me Nothing, pt. 1." Here's a behind the scenes video:

Here's another behind-the-scenes video shot on the set of Degrassi: Nowhere to Run.

"It's really dark, really late, and full of bugs." - Aislinn Paul (Clare)

If you could sit by that fire, making s'mores (or making out), with any Degrassi character, who would it be?

Happy 4th of July...

Two more weeks 'til new Degrassi.

We have a new Ryan this summer (everyone should have a Ryan -- they're very good to have around) and he took some of the behind-the-scenes footage from the Degrassi: Now or Never teaser shoot (aka: the fireworks promo) and put this together for you.

Wasn't that thoughtful of him?

I like it. Particularly watching Munro, Jahmil, and Ray doing their little bonfire dance.

Oh, summer. I hope you have lots of bonfires in you this year, because I want to set off bottle rockets with my friends and feel nice nice like in the video.

Happy Friday everyone! Today is the last day we'll be drowning you in classic behind the scenes videos, and friends... this playlist is what we in the business call a smorgasbord of unmitigated awesomeness.

In today's full Degrassi On the Set playlist, you'll see:

• Adamo Ruggiero (Marco) doing his Aubrey Graham (Jimmy, Drake) impression
• Cast members' opinion of which two Degrassi characters should hook up next, who's most like their character in real life, and what makes Degrassi so real
• One of the more detailed explorations of the art of on-screen kisses (and behind the scenes jitters they cause), starring Stacey Farber (Ellie)
• And possibly the most classic Degrassi On the Set video of all time... "So You Think You Can Dance, Degrassi":

Enjoy it. And enjoy your weekend full of Every Degrassi Ever marathon. And enjoy thinking about the fact that two Fridays from tonight at 9p et, you'll be cozied up in front of your TV watching brand new episodes of Degrassi: In Too Deep.

Sometimes life does you a favor, you know?

Make over montage! I want one! Why can't they happen in real life? They're so much quicker than real make overs where you have to keep washing make-up off and changing pants. Changing pants takes so long! Why is life so hard?

So does that mean shooting Clare's make over montage for Degrassi was actually a pain in the butt instead of fun? Nope, looks like it was officially a blast:

There's more behind the scenes footy in today's Degrassi On the Set playlist... such as for instance, Deanna Casaluce freezing her bits off when Alex became "Lextasy"; Ed Robertson from the Barenaked Ladies and Natasha Bedingfield on set (on different days); some bloopers, and more... Click here for today's whole list!

Only 19 days left 'til Valentine's Day (and only 16days 'til Degrassi: In Too Deep premieres)! Let's take a behind-the-scenes look at some Degrassi's heartthrobs' romantic histories -- Mike Lobel's first kiss, Paula Brancati's very committed grade school valentine, and more:

Today's Degrassi: On the Set playlist has more goodies, too. Such as, Ellie, Marco, and Lauren's last day in "the college house" (and some behind the scenes footy from when Marco and Ellie kissed!); Ray "Sav" Ablack's special backstage intern's tour of Epitome (where Degrassi is made); everyone covered in blood; Shenae's last day; and a stack of other behind the scenes vids.
