            Dance Together opens with a lively dance number in the school hall-until a teacher stops it. But soon the story becomes about human suffering, difficulties, decisions, and how good can come out of life's hard moments; entertainment with substance. In the film's layered plot, Holly (Kira Murphy) is preparing for a regional dance competition but she is covering up an injury. Her mother knows things aren't right with her, and she takes her to a doctor who breaks the sad news that Holly has a permanent injury and can't dance anymore. A devastated Holly tears down her dance posters from her bedroom while her dance trophies seem to mock her as she breaks down and cries.When a few jealous girls at Holly's school (Logan Fabbro and Emilia McCarthy) don't want her sitting with them at lunch time, Holly goes to the library where she meets a girl who is Deaf named Alex (Rae Rezwell). She becomes fascinated with Alex's ability to read lips and use sign language. As their friendship grows, they help one another. Alex convinces Holly that since she can't be the person she wanted to be, she needs to find out "who you really are." Holly finds a talent she can use and in a way she didn't expect. And Alex has her own battles-a math teacher, Mr. Fisher (Tyler Murree), who teaches with his back to the class, facing the board, and Alex to learn. However, a supportive principal finds a way. With Holly's support, not to mention the fact that Alex meets a new boy named Noah (Dale Whibley), Alex begins to flourish as well.This energetic movie tells a great story and features memorable characters. It shows teens overcoming shortcomings and problems and makes a point that sometimes an apology is necessary. The movie is an overall wholesome experience even with a few characters being testy. The movie does a good job in presenting realistic school settings and the problems that high school students face: trying to fit in and finding one's niche. Dance Together explores Deaf culture, friendship, bullying, teamwork and acceptance.Excerpts courtesy of Ed C. Dove.org
