Captivating and Moving
ztrout-9234323 May 2023
"Everybody Dance" is not only an incredibly feel good story but as a documentary it fully immerses you into the lives of these dancers.

The documentary challenges everything you know about special needs children and shows you the expanse of the capabilities of a child. In such a short time, you meet a large amount of children all of whom have different needs. Yet, you feel personally attached to each one and want them to succeed. You want them to dance!!!!

Structurally sound, the plot is moving, and I hope you have tissues near you. I cannot express how you can see these children's lives transform into something amazing.

"Everybody Dance," you have to see it.

Such a Beautiful Film!
adamcalderete19 May 2023
What a beautiful story! Bonnie and her volunteers have created an incredible environment for these kids to learn, connect, and feel like they belong for the first time. This documentary shows what can happen when a teacher takes an interest, and reaches kids that are often overlooked. Seeing how much joy and excitement dance brings to these kid's lives makes for deeply moving and emotional viewing experience. The power art can have on a person's life is on full effect here.

Dan Watt does an incredible job capturing the journey for these kids and their families, and sheds light on a beautiful community.

Can't recommend this film enough.

Must Watch Touching Film
hbarish14 October 2022
This is a wonderful independent documentary that everyone should take the time to watch and support.

Insightful, entertaining, educational and extremely touching. Meet these incredibly brave kids and their real life superhero dance teacher.

It certainly took me into a world that I really knew nothing about and came out feeling so much better and with a lot more empathy.

Great for all age audiences and will make you a better person after viewing.

This is a small film that will need word of mouth to help it find an audience and I for one will take on that mission.

Highly recommend and worth the watch!

Beautiful and inspiring story
allisontartalia23 February 2024
I loved everything about this documentary! I felt deeply moved by the journeys of these students with very divergent special needs, who have come together to make something beautiful in this unique, inclusive dance program. Bonnie's dance studio brings together young dancers with and without disabilities and students who are neurodivergent and neurotypical. The result is a transcendent reminder of what dance and art-making are really all about. Kudos to the students, their visionary teacher, and the filmmakers for shining a light on this wonderful approach to working with special needs students. The world needs more of this!
