Film Screening of Call Me Dancer

Call Me Dancer, a film by Leslie Shampaine, follows an athletic street dancer from Mumbai whose working-class parents depend on their only son’s support. When Manish chooses to dance instead of continuing on a more traditional path, his father tells him, “Dancing is a hobby for rich kids.”

Ambitious and passionate, Manish is determined to make it as a professional dancer, but the odds are stacked against him. Under the committed guidance of a ballet master, he embarks on a transformative journey, battling self-doubt and cultural barriers in pursuit of his dream.

Call Me Dancer captures the vibrant energy of Mumbai’s streets and the disciplined world of dance. A rollercoaster of emotions and a feast for the eyes, the film takes you on a non-stop adventure, and by the end, you will want to jump up from your seat and, yes, dance!
