LAST DANCE
English
Aria, a high-strung teenage dancer, has spent months preparing for her final performance, dreaming of a solo since childhood. On the day of her final performance, her strict teacher cruelly takes it away. Devastated, Aria questions her worth and battles insecurity while striving to reclaim it. As the performance nears, she makes one last attempt, confronting a decision that could define her future.
