Yeh ballet (S)

Dancing is a passion of the rich, believes Manish Chauhan, the 21-year-old son of a taxi driver in suburban Mumbai. Yet he, like his friend, 15-year-old Amiruddin Shah daydream of becoming principal ballet dancers in big American companies. Ballet arrived in their lives as a lucky accident only three years ago, when Yehuda Maor discovered their talent. A scholarship to study at New York's prestigious Joffrey Ballet School doesn't materialize after they are rejected for US visas. Today Amir Shah is poised to attend ABT (American Ballet Theatre Jacqueline Onassis School). He is being funded by a billionaire Indian scientist Dr. Yusuf Hamied chairman of Cipla. Since this film was made Amir's story has caught the global eye and he has been written about and filmed extensively. His BBC story got 2 million hits. Yeh Ballet is Manish Chauhan's story before they found global recognition.
