Dancing Manilenyos (2019)

In Manila, a group of young Filipinos dream of making it big in the ballet world. Victor, who comes from a poor family, and Monica from a privileged background are among them. In this city that is one of the world’s most populated, the difference between those who have and those who have not is painfully extreme. Amidst Manila’s disparate social class structure, ballet teacher Luther hopes to lift his students out of poverty through artistic and life skills one learns from dancing.
