“For the last seven years, I’ve followed the lives of Mark Elie, a grown-up black Billy Elliot, and the children whose lives he has worked to transform through his ballet school, Portobello dance. Step by Step is a portrait of a passionate man, but also a unique document of three talented black girls growing up in London’s Notting Hill...

Step by Step

Can a black Billy Elliot change children’s lives through ballet?

...Step by Step is an ongoing personal journey for me as a director, a living, breathing story, whose protagonists I’ve lived with and got to know intimately. The material is often funny, and sometimes heartbreaking, it’s a true and in-depth portrayal of lives transformed by dance”
