Only When I Dance -Vida Ballet (1:18)

 This is an inspiring documentary about the triumph of the human spirit. Only When I Dance is a documentary which follows two teenagers who are working against all odds to join  professional ballet companies. Irlan and Isabela live just outside one of the most famous favelas in Rio. They both  have parents with limited financial means but unlimited dreams for their children. Irlan has great talent, Isabela has talent but she is black making her journey harder. This documentary follows Irlan and Isabela through competitions and try outs. This is a documentary that I heartily recommend. Share this film with your teenage children.
