Ballroom Dancer
Ten years have passed since Slavik won the World Championship in Latin American Dance. Now at 34, he’s facing his last chance for a comeback. With a new young partner, Anna, who is also his lover, Slavik tries to leave the past behind and reclaim his place at the top. Ballroom Dancer is the story of an artist’s unwavering ambition and passion, but also a precarious love story. Intimate access to Anna and Slavik’s world captures the tender, candid moments and the heartbreaking conflicts that arise behind their relentless rehearsals and stressful competitions. With an instinctually observant camera, Ballroom Dancer looks beyond the sequins and makeup to reveal the pain beneath the art. Lynne Crocker
