Ballroom

"Ballroom" is an inclusive wheelchair ballroom dance movie about a struggling dancer, Violet, who needs the help of the charming ballroom dance instructor, Petro Saenko, to learn all the Latin dances in two weeks for an upcoming crucial audition. When Violet's depressive mother, Janet, causes her to have a devastating car accident and become paraplegic, Petro helps Violet regain her love for life by showing her she can still dance and audition -- in a wheelchair. However, Violet's controlling mother and Petro's fiery jealous business partner, Emery, will stop at nothing to prevent Violet from realizing her dreams.

Directed by Laurence Walsh, Ballroom leans on a strong ensemble — Madeline Delp, Dmitry Chaplin, Tyne Stecklein — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 0.
