Why Dance? is an in-depth, behind-the-scenes documentary DVD of the world of professional dance, especially ballet. In a search to better understand how the dance art form attracts the efforts of students, ballerinas, competitors, judges, artistic directors, choreographers, studio owners, and more, Why Dance? pursues interviews, an examination of the USA International Ballet Competition, and a soul-searching scrutiny of the "darker side of dance", including injuries, eating disorders and insecurities. Packed with straightforward advice for aspiring dancers, Why Dance? takes every length to answer its title question as thoroughly as possible. Highly recommended. 1 hr 52 min, color.
