I'm not a fan of dance, nor am I a dancer myself, but who DOESN'T want to watch a group of beautiful, talented, lithe, outsider-types find something they excel at doing and go on to develop their lifelong passion to perform?
The relationships between the students, and the relationships between the students and their teachers seem genuine, without much personal drama, or emotional/competitive manipulation. While perhaps due to good editing (but perhaps the school was portrayed accurately-and I hope it was), I was impressed by the sheer investment all of the teachers and choreographers put into making their young students, both collectively and individually. There was nothing "groomy", pervy, or skeevy between the adults and the kids that was caught on film...I hope what the audience saw was how it actually is at that school. It seems like they have found a magical formula!
Compelling topic, everyone seemed like they wanted to be there; there wasn't any low key bullying, and there was ZERO abuse (pushing young students too hard, yelling, insulting, cursing at, threats, etc.).
Great and interesting documentary-loved it.
