For many dancers, participating in the competition circuit means chaotic weekends full of early call times, quick changes in crowded dressing rooms, and the nerve-racking wait for judges’ scores. “She Dances,” a new movie that arrived in theaters March 27, brings that world to the big screen. The film stars dancers and actresses audrey_zahn and kenzie, as well as Audrey’s father, stevezahn, and fellow Hollywood A-lister Ethan Hawke.

dancespiritmagazine caught up with the film’s two dance stars to talk about stepping back into competitive dance, blending their backgrounds with acting, and what they hope young dancers take away from the story. Read the full article at the link in our bio.

2) Onstage in a spotlight, Audrey Zahn performs a contemporary dance solo wearing a long, sheer white dress. She arches over her front foot in a wide lunge, arms lifted and opened backward. Text: “The number one thing I wanted to capture was how hard competition dancers work. People don’t realize how much work is put in and how much pressure is on you.”—Audrey Zahn
3) A young Mackenzie Ziegler poses in a red two-piece costume with her right leg lifted and arms held out in an “L” with palms facing up. Text: “I did grow up on television in a different way, so this was more wholesome—showing me experiencing the more joyful parts of dance, and being so excited to just perform.”—Mackenzie Ziegler on performing in She Dances
