Sampling of various dance styles: street/hip-hop, ballet, Irish clog. Then the finale (string and dance competition) is a wonderful fusion of ballet and hip-hop to a modern classical string composition. Very reminiscent of Centre Stage.
There's a story too, and a follow-up film Free Dance that's only listed as released 2018 in Italy so far.
Dir. MD appeared on Y&R ('84-'13) as Danny Romalotti.
