RHYTHM IS IT! You Can Change Your Life in a Dance Class
250 kids from 25 nations come together to rehearse and dance Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring in a concert with the Berlin Philharmonic. These troubled and disadvantaged adolescents come from an industrial backwater public school near Berlin, with no prior dance or music training. Attitudes run the gamut—from apathy to insecurity to defiance—as British choreographer Royston Maldoom starts rehearsals. Watch the amazing physical and psychological transformation of isolated, eye-rolling teens into a team of competent, dedicated dancers. Ride the emotional roller-coaster of rehearsals, then witness a spectacular final performance with Sir Simon Rattle. 177 min. 2-DVD Set
