A coming-of-age portrait of a talented young dancer who leaves behind a troubled family life to join a small dance troupe in New York City, FIVE DANCES is a visually-arresting feature by award-winning writer-director Alan Brown (Private Romeo). Featuring a heartbreakingly memorable performance by Broadway-star Ryan Steele in his screen debut, the film follows the rocky emotional journey of an 18-year old dancer with talent to burn, who must choose between his responsibility to his broken family in the Midwest, and forging a life and career for himself. Shot with a vibrant immediacy, and featuring five of New York’s most gifted dancers performing the choreography of internationally celebrated Jonah Bokaer, FIVE DANCES artfully navigates the border between dance and film, art and entertainment and offers a modern gay love story for a new generation.
