The Dance Goodbye
Description
What is life like for a dancer when they can no longer dance? Inspired by Merrill Ashley's departure from the New York City Ballet as an acclaimed principal dancer, this new documentary captures the poignancy of this life turning point. After a struggle to find her next step, today Merrill Ashley travels around the world teaching Balanchine to dance companies that perform his works as once she did. This is the story of any dancer—or in truth any one of us—who needs to find their way into a new life.
