WHERE.THE DANCE IS Trailer

In May of 2009, choreographer Doug Elkins worked with 8 students from Beacon High School in New York City. This 16-minute documentary follows the process of their rehearsals, as the kids gain confidence, build a community - and are entertained by the humor and hyperactive wit of their teacher. This engaging look at an artist/teacher moves from philosophy to physicality, but subverts the American Idol formula of bravura final performance - because that's not WHERE THE DANCE IS.

@TheGreatArloMan yea really but its good that we have capoeria and stage fighting still, both by elkins next year so those are going to be good next year too if the parkour program doesnt run through

[TheGreatArloMan]

@PumpkinKing479 Of course, so glad we have Mr. Elkins teaching us.  It's disappointing that the parkour workshop had to be shut down, but there's always a hope for next year.
