Cast of ‘Bunheads’ Offers Fans a Farewell Dance

Paradise was regained, albeit briefly, for fans of “Bunheads.” That much-loved ABC Family series was officially canceled last month after months in renewal limbo, but much of the cast reunited recently to perform one last dance to say farewell.

The show starred Sutton Foster (who did not take part in the farewell video) as Michelle, a Las Vegas showgirl who ends up teaching ballet in the fictional small town of Paradise, Calif. Although it did not develop a large audience, the show made an outsize impression on critics, and its fan base continues to devoutly wish for its revival in some fashion.

Set to Elton John’s “Blues for Baby and Me,” the farewell video includes several members of the teen ensemble who formed the show’s core: Julia Goldani Telles, Bailey Buntain and Kaitlyn Jenkins (who did not dance because of an injury). A title card at the video’s end offers thanks to “everyone who came to play in our sandbox.”
