Ballroom Dancer

Documented journey of former Latin dancing world champ Slavik Kryklyvyy's attempt at a comeback, assisted by his partner and girlfriend Anna Melnikova.

"In 2000, Kryklyvyy became the World Latin Dance Champion with his partner and lover Joanna Leunis. Enduring success seemed assured, but instead Slavik's career sputtered while Leunis went on to unrivaled glory with a replacement partner. A decade later Slavik has his sights set on a comeback. He has reteamed with a new partner—his girlfriend, amateur dance champion Melnikova, and redemption seems within their grasp. But when it comes to making their relationship work both on and off the dance floor, will Slavik's unwavering ambition prove to be his greatest asset, or his fatal flaw?" (Tribeca Film Festival)
