Only when I Dance follows two young teenagers, Isabela and Irlan as they strive to realize an extraordinary dream. The girl and boy, both black and poor, and living in one of the most violent favelas on the outskirts of Rio. They both want to become a ballet dancer in of the great companies in the North. For them, dance is the way out, an escape, and on stage, an ecstasy, that is rarely found in their day to day lives. The question is: can they make it?
