Dancing Queen

This heartwarming family film follows the shy and awkward seventh-grader Mina. Her up to then quiet life in a small Norwegian village is disrupted dramatically when the handsome E.D. Win, a famous hip-hop dancer, comes to her school and starts a dance group. Does Mina have any dance experience? No - but will that won’t stop her from trying to join the group and win the heart of her idol? Heck no! To stand a chance, she consults her eccentric grandmother, who is a source of no-nonsense wisdom. From an awkward first audition to a nerve-racking final act - director Aurora Gossé’s Dancing Queen offers an upbeat look at the formation of a teenage identity. The young Liv Elvira Kippersund Larsson shines as Mina, bringing her role to life with vulnerability and humor. Mina's quest for acceptance reminds us that being yourself is often the best choice.
