Logline: Inspired by a dancer, a small boy trains himself into a one.

Everything in our life happens because of people - they inspire us, we learn from them, they make us angry and boost us to develop.

I was dancing for a long time and every dancer seemed to have a story of how he/she saw someone danced and decided to dip into that. Years later, dance was still with them with all the emotions. skills, inspiration, people and adventures it brings. I wanted to revoke a feeling of gratitude to those who once inspired us.
