DANCING JOY is a groundbreaking new film set to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. It brings together 21 different dance cultures from around the world. Traveling 56,000 miles–to every populated continent and Oceania–the crew circled the globe to film. Profoundly deaf by the time he wrote the symphony, his last, Ludwig van Beethoven created music so beautiful that it is still played and loved internationally over two centuries later. DANCING JOY is a soaring journey that celebrates humanity and nature as never before and shows how we are all meant to live in joy.
