Dancers (1987)
Wonderful Dancing

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers!! I loved this movie so much that I bought it. My daughter and I watch it every couple of months or so. For sure... the storyline was a little.... lame... but... the dancing was sooo incredible!!! I don't know why another commenter (supposedly a dancer) would call this boring... I go to the ballet as often as possible and I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Mikhail dance a few years ago. His grace is breathtaking. Just recently I invited a friend to watch Dancers. This person had never been to a ballet or even seen one on t.v. but... she loved it. I too loved the character Paolo and I also agree that he should have got the girl in the end... or at the very least an appology or the chance to take the girl back to the airport and say goodbye. That would have been a much better way to end it than the way that it did. Anyhow... I certainly would not watch this movie if you were wanting some deep meaningful plot... this movie you watch for the pure joy of watching the dance. By the way... when Mikhail danced here with his White Oak Dance Company... I disliked almost the whole thing except when Mikhail danced. I detest modern dance. Talk about meaningless steps and trying to figure out what the heck is going on....
