Desert Dancer plot

"Be Brave. Be Bold. Be Free."

In Iran it is forbidden to dance. Despite the dangers, Afshin Ghaffarian and her friends decide to start an underground dance group. By hacking into blocked Youtube, they learn the moves of the very best - Michael Jackson, Pina Bausch, Gene Kelly and Rudolf Nureyev. They enjoy the freedom of expression that dance gives them. They decide to give a performance in the middle of the desert, far from the watchful eye of the military police.
