Summary
"...Caras candidly shares professional and personal anecdotes and milestones, from his difficult childhood to his days as a dancer with the New York City ballet under the mentorship of the legendary George Balanchine to the often bumpy path he courageously continued on, leading to a luminous career as the foremost dance photographer of our time. Through the mosaic of his breathtaking prints, Caras reveals much of the ballet dancer's world onstage and in rehearsal throughout the film, in tandem with compelling interviews with numerous dance icons, including Jacques d'Amboise, Patricia McBride, Mia Michaels, Kay Mazzo, Peter Martins, Allegra Kent, Sean Lavery, Elizabeth Streb, Gary Chryst, Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux and Virginia Johnson among many others." -- synopsis from Steven Caras website.
