WHO'S DANCIN' NOW?
Featuring Jacques d'Amboise and the National Dance Institute
|
|
|
In 1976, one of the world's greatest dancers began a project that would change the lives of at least half a million people. That year, the National Dance Institute was founded by New York City Ballet principal dancer Jacques d'Amboise as a way of introducing dance to students in the public school system.
The unique introduction was captured in the 1983 Academy Award winning film HE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE DANCIN'. From nerve-racking tryouts to rigorous rehearsals, determined children danced through a year of practice that culminated in a glorious debut at Madison Square Garden. But what became of those young dancers that were seen struggling in the film nearly two decades ago? In WHO'S DANCIN' NOW, producer/director Judy Kinberg revisits them. Now in their mid to late 20s, they have gone on to careers in finance, law science, and education. The film shows them at work and play and includes a reunion.
