Strictly Ballet

DOCUMENTARY series
directed and edited by David Petersen

This eight-part documentary series for Condé Nast follows the challenges and aspirations of six young dancers at Miami City Ballet School. Following the success of the first series about the School of American Ballet in New York City which David Petersen directed, story-produced and edited, this series focuses on the American immigrant experience as it relates to ballet. Since the school makes a special effort to recruit abroad, the series tracks not only the aspirations of these talented young dancers, but also the dreams that many immigrants share who hope to make it in America.
