welcome to the biggest collection of dance films in the world.
what is a
dance film?
A dance film (also known as screendance) is where movement meets cinema — a fusion of choreography and filmmaking that transforms dance into a visual story. Unlike stage performances, dance films are crafted specifically for the camera, using cinematography, pace, editing, and unique environments to amplify the story.
We've made it our mission to curate the best dance films from around the world. They range in genre, style, tone, budget, location, and cultural perspective. Dance filmmaking is a universal language, a way for us to communicate without having to say a word.

"MONEY"
by Jordyn Apostolache
MONEY challenges capitalist ideals and the way they shape daily life. The film breaks traditional boundaries, using dance to portray a system that demands conformity while suppressing individuality. Its rebellious undertones push against societal norms, making more room for fun and play.
