Ballroom Dancer Movie Trailer - featuring Slavik and Anna

The trailer for BALLROOM DANCER, a feature documentary directed by Christian Holten Bonke and Andreas Koefoed, featuring Slavik Kryklyvyy and Anna Melnikova.

World Premiere at Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival on 1st of November 2011. Produced by Danish Documentary Productions.

DESCRIPTION
Through a unique access to a legendary dancer, this film takes you deep inside a world at a very personal level. Ballroom Dancer takes place in a vivid world known intimately only by the professionals and the devotees, although recently more and more people have become acquainted with dance following popular TV shows such as Dancing with the Stars.

The real competitive world of ballroom dancing, however, is as cruel as it is beautiful. It is romantic yet cynical. The dancers live like nomads and are constantly traveling the globe striving to climb the hierarchy of competitive ballroom dancing. Competition is fierce and very few reach their goal.

Ballroom Dancer is shot across the entire world, which adds a very interesting variation of locations. We go from the white beaches of Bali to icy Moscow winter. We marvel at the futuristic Hong Kong, which is juxtaposed by the nostalgic amusement halls and the British melancholy of Blackpool's faded seaside charm. There is celebrity nightlife in New York and worn down dance studios in Kiev. The story of Slavik and Anna is indeed played out in a global, fast-moving modern world, yet the story is deeply personal.

PLOT OUTLINE
The former world champion Slavik Kryklyvyy is making his comeback with his younger partner and girlfriend Anna Melnikova - a comeback that turns out to be much more painful than he expected.

Slavik (34) is making his final comeback as a professional dancer. When he came on the scene, he was the fastest rising star in the history of ballroom dancing making it to world champion in a little over a year. Unfortunately, Slavik has been unable to maintain long-term partnerships, which has kept him away from the competition floor for a long time.

Now, with his new dance partner and girlfriend, Anna, he has his mind set to regain lost ground and once again become the best dancer in the world. However, they are up against Michael & Joanna, the renowned world champions who seem stronger than ever. Slavik also suffers from severe hip pain and soon it becomes a question if Slavik and Anna's relationship will survive the fight to the top as the pressure grows and former personal conflicts start to reappear.
