Stepping High by CineMotion 21st STEPPING OUT Sima, while stunningly beautiful, has failed to fulfill her dreams as a professional dancer. She is on the wrong side of thirty, being aged out, and is forced to take a job as a teacher at a conservative local high school. Much to her surprise, it sparks the choreographer in her-a talent she has been nurturing in private not only to battle her self-doubt and depression but to create a new and unique fusion of belly and ballroom styles. As one who throws her heart and soul into everything she does, her life inevitably entwines with those of her students, a diverse group of teens, both in the classroom and outside it. Sima becomes re-energized. She opens the kids' eyes and minds to dance as a powerful tool for social change. Not everyone likes her progressive ideas. When she introduces them to her belly-ballroom style, tensions escalate. Race, class, culture, teen romance, Sima's personal failures in her relationship with her parents and her boyfriend, all of which has been building silently, intersect for an emotional explosion! Yet the only way out is for Sima and her students to perform her controversial dance on the biggest stage to a hostile audience in a volatile, charged climax that is a powder keg on a short fuse.

I Love Your Moves by CineMotion 21st Ari has just moved from his home in Russia to America to live with his mother and his grandfather. An awkward teen, Ari has trouble making friends, fitting in and generally adapting to his new American life. But everything changes when he falls in love with Paris, who's not only the most popular girl in school but also a champion ballroom dancer. In order to get closer to Paris, Ari decides to join the school's ballroom dance program. What he doesn't know is that his grandfather is in fact Goran Kiev, perhaps the greatest ballroom dancer who ever lived, and Ari appears to have inherited his grandfather's incredible talent. When Paris realizes that Ari is a natural on the dance floor, she sees her ticket to the Regional Championships and a scholarship to the New York dance academies. Standing in their way, however, is their dance teacher, Della, who just happens to be the spurned former partner of Kiev, as well as Dolby, Paris' jealous and violent boyfriend. Despite the obstacles on their path to happiness and success, Ari and Paris soon realize that the most important rule of ballroom dancing is – NEVER STOP DANCING! Director: Henri Charr
