"Ballet Boys" documentary London screenings

[toursenlair]

Ballet Boys - London premiere

 

The film BALLET BOYS has been screened at many international film festival and we are happy to introduce this film to all our ballet friends in England. A film about adolescence, ambition, friendship, identity and passion for dance. 

It’s not easy being a teenager – specially not when your aim is to become the new Billy Elliot! Lukas, Syvert and Torgeir love to dance, but have they got what it takes to be the best? This warm-hearted, inspiring film introduces us to three very different young friends who are all passionate about ballet. As the boys near the end of high school, they must decide whether they have the commitment and skill to make a career in dance. In a field dominated by girls, the boys have forged a strong friendship, brilliantly captured here, which will be challenged by the choices they make at this vital stage in their lives.
