About this film
Set at a dance studio in Detroit circa 1979 that pays homage to the late 70s when disco music was gospel. Our story revolves around an elderly man who tries to convince a jaded disco dance instructor to teach him how to dance so he can surprise his wife on their 60th wedding anniversary... in one week. A heartfelt story about living life to its fullest.
Screening as part of the Narrative Shorts program.
