4 roles
$500/day. Dance/ballet experience is a MUST. Isabella has a short 30 second dance we must film (so please mention if you have a routine we can film). She’s our hero, she initially lacks confidence but possesses an underlying strength and sense of justice. Her journey is about discovering her self-worth and using her pain as fuel to achieve her goals.
$300/day. Dance/ballet experience is a MUST. A complex character who embodies privilege and entitlement. While initially dismissive and cruel towards Isabella, she ultimately displays a level of respect for her talent and determination by the very end of it.
$300/day. She is Isabella’s mom. A pillar of support and the voice of reason. Her unwavering belief in Isabella's potential provides the emotional anchor for the story. She is in a wheelchair.
$300/day. Dance/ballet background is a plus. Colette’s mom & Isabella’s power-hungry ballet teacher. She’s the antagonist, whose harsh methods and manipulative behavior create the primary conflict. Her actions serve as a catalyst for Isabella's growth and resilience.
