What it offers is simply a glimpse of what this work is about, what it implies for these young people, their talent, their profession and of course what will represent for their professional future. Also the strenght of this doc is that is giving us an insight of this young people working so hard which is rewarding and inspiring. It's not an outstanding documentary but it's pretty good and definitely a good option even if you never cared about ballet.

This is a very well done documentary about young aspiring ballet artists competing in a world class competition. It's fascinating and at least somewhat dramatic, and watching all this kids dance for their passion is really a treat.

It seemed like a long promotional pitch for: "American Idol for Ballet Dancers". I was ready to be a fan of this documentary and a good story, but the potentially good stories were mashed together. I was disappointed they didn't use the ebb and flow of ballet to tell the story. Great kids, good music, hard work, sacrifice is clear. But, I wasn't invested in the **** summary, with so many other great movies to watch, this one is on the end of your list unless you love ballet.

A lovely, touching movie, albeit a bit heavy on the heart-tugging. I loved the dancing, the cinematography, and the personal stories (and the personalities of the dancers and their families); but most of all I loved the fact that there was no Nigel, Mary, Little C, Trice, or Mia to ruin it.

Liked the movie a lot. Showed you the passion and hardwork put in by the youngsters in pursuing their dream of dancing ballet professionally. Would recommend this film to young people and their familes who are seriously considering a career in the arts.
