MIRROR DANCE documentary clip

MIRROR DANCE (2005), tells the story of identical Cuban twin sisters -- both former ballerinas with the National Ballet of Cuba -- whose once inseparable relationship was severed by international politics.

Co-produced and co-directed by Frances McElroy and Maria Rodriguez and edited by Ann Tegnell,
with music composed by Elio Villafranca, MIRROR DANCE was shot in Havana, Cuba and Narberth, PA over the course of five years. The hour-long documentary is supported by ITVS (Independent Television Service/CPB), the National Endowment for the Arts, Latino Public Broadcasting, The Philadelphia Foundation, the 5-County Arts Fund, the Montgomery County Foundation and the Philadelphia Independent Film & Video Association In-Kind Subsidy Fund. MIRROR DANCE won a 2005 CINE Golden Eagle Award; First Place for Documentary Excellence from the Society of Professional Journalists, Greater Philadelphia Chapter; 2006 Imagen Award finalist for Best Documentary for Television or Film; Award of Merit, Latin American Studies Association Film Festival, Montreal, Canada, 2007. The documentary premiered nationally in 2005 on the Emmy Award winning PBS series INDEPENDENT LENS.
