Nothing Matters When We're Dancing

Nothing Matters When We’re Dancing portraits three Danes – Nicolaj, Anamet og Grace – who love to dance. They all participate in the nationwide project Ta’ fat om dansen within different programs. In the documentary we meet the three main characters in the studio and in their daily life while they reflect upon what dancing means to them and why nothing matters when they are dancing. When watching them we come to understand how dance as an artform can be life-changing and create a room for essential meetings between people – that art is essential to the human spirit.
