Despre acest film

Every year, thousands of aspiring dancers enter one of the world's most prestigious ballet competitions, the Youth America Grand Prix, where lifelong dreams are at stake. In the final round, with hundreds competing for only a handful of elite scholarships and contracts, practice and discipline are paramount, and nothing short of perfection is expected. Bess Kargman's award-winning documentary, FIRST POSITION, follows six young dancers as they prepare for a chance to enter the world of professional ballet, struggling through bloodied feet, near exhaustion and debilitating injuries, all while navigating the drama of adolescence. A showcase of awe-inspiring talent, tenacity and passion, FIRST POSITION paints a thrilling and moving portrait of the most gifted young ballet stars of tomorrow.

Excellent, exciting, exhilarating. A true depiction of the intensity of training to be the best dancer one can be. I know hands on, for I began my long-time successful and Blessed career at 15 years old. Being a male also had challenges of its own. But GOD knows HIS children and works in their favor, IF we Love and Obey HIS commandments.

I thought the movie was very good. These kids give up their child hood and dedicate themselves to a life of dance. These kids are fabulous at their art. I love ballets and thank you for your devotion to your art!

These children work hard to be a professional dancers its seems harder then they thought but nothing can't stand in there way of making there dreams come true!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I rate it big time
