Fiction Features
She Dances
Forced to reconnect on the road to her final dance competition, a father and daughter must confront their fractured relationship. As they navigate a shared tragedy, the whirlwind of the Young Miss Southeast Regional Dance Finals becomes the backdrop for their journey toward healing. She Dances is a story about rediscovering family and finding yourself — accepting what is, letting it shape you, and recognizing who you are through the memories of those you love most.
Preceded by the fiction short Rise. A Q&A with actor Audrey Zahn and cinematographer David Morrison (B.F.A., video/film, 1989) immediately follows the screening.
