Brilliantly conceived, promoted, and filmed living testimony to the power of dreams and discipline, and a passion for dance, and uplifting children from lives of limitation to the aspirations of excellence. Debbie Allen’s determination to create a future and training for Black Dancers, and teach them to focus on every moment of their lives, is moving, entertaining, vividly alive with the love of children. Igniting every action from their homework, their families, and every moment of dance with the possibilities of an unlimited future. It is cruelly hard work to make it as a dancer, and the teachers do not sugarcoat the message. Unless you find the passion of your dream makes you more alive, and worth the struggle, dance is not for you. You have to surrender excuses, and devote the time to the pain of stretching and growing. Shondra Rhimes strikes gold again, with the passionate Debbie leading a diverse cast of teachers from Russian ballet to hip hop and tap, in rewriting the Nutcracker in chocolate. Creating a new narrative for today’s world and children from Compton to Detroit, and New York, in displaying extraordinary talent honoring a round the world theme in choreography, costume and showcasing young talent as it emerges.
