Sypnosis: DANSUER, a documentary that confronts the social stigma of boys choosing to study ballet, lifts the curtain and allows an in-depth look into their world through interviews with ballet students, teachers, directors, and professional dancers. It reveals the prevalence of harassment and lack of support that boy dancers often endure from peers as well as family. The film follows several male dancers, some gay, some straight, and sensitively unfolds their relationships to dance and we come to see that boys who choose ballet really know what they love and their passion and determination is inspiring to witness.
