    Editorial Reviews

    As the breakout successes of Spellbound and Winged Migration illustrated, "documentary" doesn't have to be a four-letter word to children. This 1977 Academy Award nominee will captivate budding Angelina Ballerinas or Billy Elliotts. Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco warmly narrates this chronicle of a year in the life of Russia's legendary Vaganova Choreographic Institute, popularly known as the Kirov School. With graduates that include Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, George Balanchine, and scores more revered among the dancing elite, the Kirov is widely seen as the world's greatest ballet school. Each year thousands apply, and only 20 are accepted. From the entrance exam to graduation night, this backstage chronicle follows the rigorous rehearsals and personal sacrifices these students, ages 9-12, must endure to realize their dream (one student has not seen her parents in more than a year). Should they succeed, Princess Grace notes, they will live a life "more intense and special" than they can imagine, and perhaps earn a place in history alongside the giants. The stunning performance sequences keep the students and the viewers' eyes on the prize, eloquently conveying the hard work and dedication needed to succeed in this demanding craft.
