Manish is an athletic street dancer from India, whose working-class parents are depending on their only son for support. When he accidentally walks into a dance school and encounters Yehuda, a curmudgeonly 75-year-old ballet master, a passion ignites within him. Despite all odds, he is determined to make it professionally. Together, this unlikely duo embarks on a journey that transforms both of their lives in a roller-coaster, true-life adventure.

From the streets of Mumbai to the stages of New York, Call Me Dancer is a story of perseverance, rebellion, ageism, family, culture, and an unlikely friendship – filmed over five-years in India, USA, U.K., and Israel.

Leslie Shampaine has been telling stories throughout her professional life. From the ballet stage where she performed throughout the world during a 13-year career, to the television screen where she has produced award-winning programs for PBS, Discovery Channel, A&E, CBS, and Al Jazeera.
