In her new documentary, First Position, director Bess Kargman shows us that ballet is not for sissies. It is fiercely competitive, physically demanding, and must be mastered early. First Position follows six young aspiring dancers (ages 9-19) as they prepare for the ballet world's toughest youth competition - the Youth America Grand Prix. With exclusive access to the competition, First Position offers an inside look at the extraordinary world of ballet and the determined young dancers who try to capture a dream only a few will achieve. Though the beauty of ballet is undenialable, in First Postion we get to see the drive and struggle that make ballet the pinnacle of dance.
