Key merchandise categories will include publishing, retail, apparel, beauty, confectionery, accessories, and interactive for "Dance Academy," a 26x52 Australian drama series, aimed at teens and tweens.

FME already represents other ZDF properties, including H2O: Just Add Water and The Elephant Princess, and has secured licensing deals in publishing, apparel and beauty for both.

"I'm looking forward to taking our work with ZDF Enterprises to another level and to expanding our portfolio of teen and tween titles," says Diana M. Dieckmann, vice president of licensing for Central, Eastern and Southern Europe at Fremantle Licensing Germany. "Dance Academy is a fantastic show with many licensing opportunities."
