series #3 AND WE WILL DANCE FILM PROJECT (weekly clips)

Check out www.andwewilldance.com for more info. AND WE WILL DANCE FILM PROJECT is about the stories of dancers, their art and their passion. It was born out of artist/director Steve Childs desire to put these stories on film but to go far beyond the boundaries of the sixty-eight minute final cut of the documentary And We Will Dance. While working with my editors I soon realized that of the nearly seventy hours of footage we shot there were going to be so many more stories that could be told and so much more of the vision that we needed to share, says Childs. Though the film And We Will Dance is completed the ongoing unveiling of these dancers lives and AWWD FILM PROJECT provides the avenue and template for these remaining clips to come to light. Childs continues, Our plan is basically to release a new set of clips each week which build on the film. As far as Im concerned this IS part of the film. The new clips will range from one to ten minutes and will vary in style and purpose. Since the launch of AWWD FILM PROJECT in February, 2010 many of these episodes are being posted even before the official release of the DVD and will continue long after its initial release.

I'm not at all an expert in this area but I believe that some dancers are best in their early 20's before they experience too many injuries. Some can stay active up until around their late 20's to around 30. Much beyond that and their bodies have gone through so much it's hard for them to keep up that daily pace. And they have to stay very limber.

Is the timeline for the career of ballet dancers different than other professional athletes? At what age does the career of ballet dancers typically peak?
