Five Dances is a beautiful looking movie. We first posted the trailer for it back in December 2012. However it’s only now that it’s heading for release, with screenings in the US starting October 4th, while a UK DVD release is set for October 28th.

Now a music video for a song from the film has arrived, showing off footage from the gay-themed dance film, as well as Scott Matthews’ tune, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, from his album, Unlearned. Take a look above.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘The classic tale of finding success and romance in the big city is given a contemporary, and unconventional, spin in Alan Brown’s new film, FIVE DANCES. Collaborating with internationally renowned choreographer Jonah Bokaer, writer-director Brown has taken five gifted New York dancers, and fashioned a story about Chip (Ryan Steele in his first film role), an extraordinarily talented 18 year-old recently arrived from Kansas who joins a small downtown modern dance company. In his first weeks of rehearsal, Chip is initiated into the rites of passage of a New York dancer’s life, where discipline and endless hard work, camaraderie and competitiveness, the fear of not being good enough, and the joy of getting it just right, inform every minute of every day.

‘Shooting in and around a Soho dance studio, Brown and his longtime cinematographer Derek McKane capture the exhilaration and emotional turmoil of a small dance company, and all of Chip’s poignant firsts—the forging of friendships, being chosen for the important solo, his first ever love affair—with the intimacy and immediacy of a documentary. The result, FIVE DANCES, is Brown’s most dynamic film.’ [Read more…]
