Welcome to the Ballroom (2017)

In the pulsating world of professional dance, a chance encounter alters the quiet life of Tatara, a reserved third-year middle school student. Rescued from local bullies by the electrifying Sengoku, an internationally renowned dancer, Tatara finds himself drawn into the swirling vortex of dance at Sengoku's vibrant studio. Here, he crosses paths with Shizuku Hanaoka, a classmate whose grace and talent he begins to quietly admire from the shadows. As Tatara steps into the rhythmic ebb and flow of the dance floor, Sengoku, with his untamed spirit and dynamic dance style, discerns the spark of potential within the introverted teen. He takes Tatara under his wing, coaching him to unlock his latent talent. The world of dance also introduces Tatara to Kiyoharu, a remarkable dance prodigy and fellow student, who further fuels Tatara's burgeoning passion to excel in this captivating art form. Tatara's journey into the world of dance is not just about personal growth. His passion, determination, and innate talent inspire those around him, encouraging fellow dance members to confront their fears and surmount their own personal hurdles. As Tatara dances his way towards acceptance among his peers and rivals, he ignites a ripple effect of courage and self-improvement within the dance studio, making 'Welcome to the Ballroom' a dance of life as much as it is a dance of art.
