CALL ME DANCER

Manish is an athletic street dancer from Mumbai who struggles against his hard-working parents’ insistence that he follow a traditional career path. He meets a curmudgeonly Israeli ballet teacher, Yehuda Ma’or, who inspires him to follow his dreams. Ambitious and passionate, Manish is now determined to make it as a professional dancer, but the odds are stacked against him and he’s forced to push himself to his physical limits to prove he has what it takes. A story of perseverance, rebellion, family and an unlikely friendship.

CALL ME DANCER is a “BILLY ELLIOTT” style story that will make you want to jump up from your seat and dance!
