But there’s more to enjoy than just dancing. The script, written by Carol Heikkenen contains its share of clunkers, but it gives its women agency and courage, handling sensitive topics like bulimia with care and empathy.
Each of the three female leads gets to draw her own path. Jody begins the film with the firm belief that the only way forward for her is as a dancer with ABC. But months of training prove that the thrill of dancing for herself means more to her than membership in a prestigious company.
Similarly, Maureen, whose aggressive stage mom has only ever let her pursue one career path, ends her arc with the realization that she’s deeply unhappy. We’ve witnessed her pain as she battles an eating disorder, exacerbated by a culture that drills the need for control over one’s body, and shames those who fall outside of its narrow definitions of beauty. And though she’s not magically cured of her troubles, you do get the sense she’s making her own decisions and working to get better.
