What is the series about?
Dancing:
Dancing is the central element of the story. It is an expression of feelings and connects people. It is a passion that is fulfilling and creates friendships. Dancing tells stories, is moving and inspiring. Although dancing requires discipline and is physically demanding, it creates a sense of ease and security. For the main characters, it is irreplaceable in their lives.
All people have dreams. Some are bigger and some are smaller. They often originate from childhood and have been faithful companions for years. As an adult, disillusionment ensues as many of these dreams seem to be unattainable. The series Dance with Me (WT) is an appeal to believe in one’s dreams and to pursue them, no matter how unachievable they seem or how hopeless one’s life situation seems to be.
