Overcoming impossible odds, an impoverished breakdancer from the streets of Mumbai stumbles into ballet class and, with the help of a stern but loving 70-year-old Israeli ballet master, pursues his dream of dancing on the world’s stage. Call Me Dancer is a story of hope, heartache, and hard work. Though the odds are stacked against him, his perseverance through highs and lows reveals the power of dance to transform lives. Call Me Dancer is a “Billy Elliot” style story that will make you want to jump up from your seat and dance!
