Dance for Your Life is a powerful testament to the transformative power of dance, where every leap is a story, every setback a lesson, and every moment a chance to be seen.

Two remarkable female performers train for Australia’s biggest street dance competition in this tale of love, obsession and the transformative power of performance.

Gabi, of Chilean-Samoan heritage, pops with power. Both dream of escaping the rough hand they’ve been dealt.

Or will the external pressures of financial hardship and volatile relationships stop them from even reaching the dancefloor?
