Graceful Girls
Description
In the beautiful, physically demanding world of the uniquely Australian dance sport of Calisthenics, there is only one solo prize that matters: Most Graceful Girl.
For 23-year-old primary school teacher Brianna Lee, three-time Graceful Girl runner-up, there’s nothing she wants more. But Calisthenics is a young woman’s sport and time is running out, so with the help of uncompromising, legendary coach Diane Synnott, the Grande Dame of the re-birthed Regent Calisthenics Club, Brianna struggles to perfect her routine, lay all her ghosts to rest, and produce the best performance of her life.
“Graceful Girls is beautifully shot, structured and paced. It’s full of lipstick, chiffon, diamantes, sweaty rehearsal montages and a tense final act at the championships.” -Mel Campbell, Junkee
