Abstract:
Every year, thousands of aspiring dancers enter one of the world's most prestigious ballet competitions, the Youth American Grand Prix, where lifelong dreams are at stake. In the final round, with hundreds competing for only a handful of elite scholarships and contracts, nothing short of perfection is acceptable. This documentary follows six extraordinary dancers as they prepare for the chance to enter the world of professional ballet, struggling through bloodied feet, near exhaustion, and debilitating injuries, all while navigating the drama of adolescence.
