HIGH STRUNG FREE DANCE - 5/31/2020
HIGH STRUNG FREE DANCE is a highly entertaining musical drama about a struggling dancer and a struggling pianist in New York City who use both talent and grit to land roles in the next biggest show to hit Broadway.

Rated PG, HIGH STRUNG FREE DANCE is suitable for most audiences, but caution is advised for children due to some sensuality and a couple obscenities.
