A Film by Donya Feuer
The Dancer follows the young and gifted Katja Bjorner through years of intensive
training at the Royal Swedish Ballet School as she develops into an international
ballet star. Filmed with an eye toward conveying the physical aspects of dancing
- the pain, sweat, and tears, as well as the exquisite beauty - The Dancer captures
the fierce determination and struggle that goes into the desire to dance at
the highest level.
"The ballet world's equivalent of Hoop Dreams!" - Miami Herald
"Feuer brilliantly crystallizes the sacrifices that dancers make - she
reinvents the way we view the dance." - Dance & the Arts Magazine
