Creative License-Urban Ballet.mpg

This story features young men from the inner city who have received scholarships to this school and are combining ballet with a unique style of urban dance called Memphis Jookin. Our cameras follow young dancers through rehearsal, a performance and to one of their homes to demonstrate how art is helping changes the lives of children and teenagers who otherwise would never have this opportunity.
