About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
A former professional dancer volunteers to teach dance in the New York public school system and, while his background first clashes with his students' tastes, together they create a completely new style of dance. Based on the story of ballroom dancer, Pierre Dulane.
Bridging the gap between rigid ballroom discipline and the raw energy of street dance, a former pro attempts to reach a group of defiant New York students. This collision of styles turns a classroom into a rhythmic sanctuary where movement replaces spoken conflict.
