It's one week before another big end of year dance concert and fourteen year old Alexi, finds herself attending dress rehearsal apprehensive. As expected, Gwen the dance teacher is stressed and takes it out on the students, demanding perfection and dishing out insults to those who fall short. Alexi must make the decision to continue following Gwen's lead or to stand up for herself and her friends.

Full of fun, color and entertainment, Don’t Let It Show is a look into the world of dance schools that is both hilarious and frightening. Featuring a cast of young, talented actors and dancers, with a soundtrack including multi-award winning Melbourne musician Gotye, this film reminds us to be true to oneself.            And most importantly, to always be wary of sequins and lycra and those who make you wear it!

PROGRESS

Don’t Let It Show is well into pre-production and filming will commence September 24th, 2011. We have a strong team of talented and dedicated filmmakers, with an aim to enter the film into festivals both nationally and internationally.

WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO?
