the first position a dance documentary

This week I would like to talk about a documentary, the name of this documentary is "First Position". Basically this film is talking about  a group of ballet dancer join a international ballet competition, and want to won the champion of this game. There are over five thousand of dance all over the world take part in this compete, and only a few of them can achieve the "top award" on this game. Which means only the talented dance on the world can gain this award. All of the dance they only have a few minute on the stage to show the judges they deserve this. In this very short time, the dancers would not allow to make any mistake, such as fall, miss steps or miss music, just one mistake probably let dancer lose their chance to get in to next around. This is tough, but also it is a chance to change some dancers life, just like one male ballet dancer in this documentary. He come from a small city and, his family is not very wealthy,but the tuition for dance is very expensive. However, his family support him to do his favorite things in the world, and he also did not want to give up his dream. Eventually he have earned the scholarship offered by the Royal Ballet Dance Academy, which means he have earned the financial support for him to get in to one of the top Dance Academy in the world and also he have gotten the high light of his dance career.
This documentary also shows real and tough life of the dance who want to the top on the dance stage. In the first place they have to stretch very day, and every time of stretch is painful. In the second place, they are no allow to eat too much food, because the line of body is very important for a dance to show their long body shape on the stage. Unfortunately after exercise, they have burn a lot of calorie, they could feel very hungry, but they have to on diet everyday, low fat is good thing. In conclusion, the dance is not just as easy as the audience saw that the dance just move their body. It is so much more to sacrifice for dance.
I think this is a good documentary, this documentary shows the real and tough life of dancer. I would give 5 star of this documentary.
