This uplifting documentary takes us on a magical journey from the streets of Mumbai to the stages of New York. Call Me Dancer is the story of perseverance, rebellion, passion, family, culture, and an unlikely friendship between a street dancer and an Israeli dance master. Call Me Dancer is a Billy Elliott style story that will make you want to jump up from your seat and, yes, dance!
