Description
What does dance mean to young people today?
Actor, Sekou Diaby, travels from east London to rural Somerset and from Birmingham to Durham to find out how dance affects young lives for the better.
This documentary explores how creativity and movement can help young people build confidence, find community, express themselves and make sense of the world around them.
This is an inspiring look at the life-changing impact of dance.
