Official theatrical trailer for the ballet documentary First Position in HD. Every year, thousands of aspiring dancers enter one of the world’s most prestigious ballet competitions, the Youth America Grand Prix, where lifelong dreams are at stake. In the final round, with hundreds competing for only a handful of elite scholarships and contracts, practice and discipline are paramount, and nothing short of perfection is expected. Bess Kargman’s award-winning documentary, FIRST POSITION, follows six young dancers as they prepare for a chance to enter the world of professional ballet, struggling through bloodied feet, near exhaustion and debilitating injuries, all while navigating the drama of adolescence. A showcase of awe-inspiring talent, tenacity and passion, FIRST POSITION paints a thrilling and moving portrait of the most gifted young ballet stars of tomorrow. www.balletdocumentary.com Opening May 4, 2012 IFC Center — New York, NY Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center — New York, NY Royal Theatre — Los Angeles, CA Town Center 5 — Encino, CA Playhouse 7 — Pasadena, CA Opening May 11, 2012 Bethesda Row Cinema — Bethesda, MD Kendall Square Cinema — Cambridge, MA Shattuck Cinemas — Berkeley, CA Ritz 5 Movies — Philadelphia, PA Rancho Niguel 8 Cinemas — Laguna Niguel, CA Camera 3 — San Jose, CA Smith Rafael Film Center — San Rafael, CA South Coast Village 3 — Santa Ana, CA Embarcadero Center Cinema — San Francisco, CA Opening May 18, 2012 Century Centre Cinema …
