A beautiful film about the dedication of dancers

Agree to all the positives in your OP.
I saw this beautiful documentary today, just online.
How I wish it'll come to our cinemas one of these days here in my place (Philippines) even if only for a few days. It hasn't got a release date for my country in the movies's page here in IMDb, but Japan which is nearest us will have it come Dec. 1st.

I enjoyed watching this one tremendously, there's always something magical to me about ballet, (I didn't like Black Swan at all though) not only about the en pointe dancing but also about the graceful movements, even when there are parts that require great passion and vigorous routines. I only wish there were more contestants where the five dance minutes required of each were fully shown.

I think Michaela Deprince fully deserve the jury's award of the Grand Prix ; she was wonderfully lyrical in a very graceful and feminine number. I was also very glad for Joan Sebastian Zamora - the one who did a Variation from Don Quixote, with his expansive dramatic movements - who was awarded a scholarship to the UK Royal Ballet School.



Truth inexorably,inscrutably seeks and reveals Itself into the Light.

Gaya is the kid that stays in my head the most. I don't know enough about ballet to know if she will go on to star in a ballet group or not, but I do know that she is the type of dancer that has performance *smarts*...being able to perform poetically with heart and soul combined.

Her love for that little boy, (Aaron?), was also so adorable to watch. I wonder if any romance will spark between the two when they grow up. They are so sweet together.

Colin:Everyone thinks I'm going to die. Mary:If everyone thought that about me, I wouldn't do it.
