Then Comes the Body Unclassified 18+ 14 mins
The infectiously inspirational story of a self-taught Nigerian ballet dancer.
After discovering ballet via the Hollywood movie Save the Last Dance, Daniel Ajala taught himself everything about the artform via the internet. Now, he runs the Leap of Dance Academy in Lagos, where his passion is passed on to a new generation. Then Comes the Body is an uplifting underdog story about overcoming the odds, rife with arresting, unforgettable images and music.
