★ 7/10
This is a gorgeously photographed and scored story about a young and talented dancer "Chip" who arrives in New York to participate in a dance workshop. His co-dancers are the only other characters in this gentle, slow-burn of a love story as, gradually, he develops some confidence which shows in both his performances in the class and with his increasing courage to take his friendship with dance partner "Theo" to the next level. The production is polished and elegant - this really is a gem of a film.
