Dancing is Living (w/Titles)

A teenage dancer struggles to overcome physical limitations in pursuit of a professional dance career. “I don't think I could live without dancing ... Even if I couldn't dance for a living ... I would still dance.”

She is driven to express that passion of her heart through the art of dance. It is more than graceful movement or inspiring combinations that drive her. It's that rare opportunity to become a professional dancer. Many try, but few succeed.

Perseverance, determination, and hard work demonstrate her enthusiasm to conquer her limitations. We watch dance teach her life lessons through success and failure. Follow her tenacious spirit in pursuit of her dreams.
