DancingDADS

synopsis

The idea for the film came during a rehearsal for that year's recital dance. As usual, the Dads were struggling to learn the steps of a dance that seemed way beyond their reach (but would probably have been mastered in a few minutes by ther own kids). During a break, the dads started talking about their kids' passions and why they were there supporting them. From the barrel-chested auto detailer who owns his own pair of jazz shoes to the graphic designer whose daughter gave up dance after an injury, everyone had a deeply personal reason for being in that studio. DANCING DADS is a movie about love, fear, dedication and poor coordination. That last one is really important because - make no mistake about it - these dads cannot dance. But they try their best. Because they love their kids.
