Dance, Ballerina, Diana Silvers, Kristine Froseth, Sarah Adina Smith, Dancer, Rivalry
Kate Sanders is an ambitious and gifted, if tomboyish, aspiring ballerina from Virginia
who, because of her low-income status, is given a scholarship to attend a prestigious ballet
school in Paris, France. Upon arriving at the cutthroat, internationally-renowned institution, her
confidence and emotional fortitude are tested by a beautiful, mysterious fellow dancer, Marine
Durand, who recently lost her brother (and dance partner) to suicide. While confrontational at
first, Kate and Marine’s relationship evolves into an emotionally-charged, competitive union
beset by lies, sexual awakening and, ultimately, emotional breakthrough as they risk everything
to win the school’s ultimate prize: a contract to join the Opéra national de Paris.
