WHITE SHIRT, BLACK TIE, BLACK PANTS XXS…
A Ballet Films behind-the-scenes look at 16 aspiring young dancers exploring an opportunity uncommon for this age group – the chance to collaborate and perform a contemporary ballet work from an up and coming choreographer with dancers from four different schools.  This short-format documentary gives the viewer a chance to see how these young ladies are brought together, how they feel about being selected and how the common goal of opportunity prevails over the typical rehearsal/performance process for this age group.  The piece also features commentary from notable personalities within the dance world.
