Forced to reconnect on the road to her final dance competition, a father and daughter must confront their fractured relationship. As they navigate a shared tragedy, the whirlwind of the Young Miss Southeast Regional Dance Finals becomes the backdrop for their journey toward healing. She Dances is a story about rediscovering family and finding yourself--about accepting what is, letting it shape you, and recognizing who you are through the memories of those you love most.

Eschewing wrapping anything in a tidy bow, the film is a rewarding look at the actual, often complex dance between fathers and daughters.

It’s an intricate web of relationships, and the film’s script is at its sharpest when it traces the reverberations of death and their many aftershocks.

While the picture, directed by Rick Gomez, has an often jaunty tone, it’s really at its best when it leans into the sadness that shadows the father-daughter relationship.

Real-life dance moms and gals may get a leg kick out of it, but all others might want to sit this one out.

"She Dances" hits its marks as a routinely funny comedy and a bittersweet family drama. It’s a film that surprises on many levels, never more than when its deeper themes rise to the surface.

She Dances exemplifies how art, as a process of expression, is not only beautiful but also a healing, connective force.

Excellent cast. Audrie Zahn caught by eye as an actress in Imperfect Women. Audrie's performance is exceptional. She's funny in some scenes and measured with her scenes about grief. The movie is entertaining and unique. Steve Zahn and the character portraying Audrie's friend in the movie deliver great performances too.
