Here’s what people are saying about

SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS

"Adapted by Richard Alfieri from his international hit play, SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS is that rare bird: a story that gives equal weight to both the trials of growing old and the struggles of youth... It’s authentic, poignant, often quite funny...Alfieri and director Arthur Allan Seidelman open up the play without compromising the two-handed intimacy. The movie feels even more personal because of Oscar-winning cinematographer Vilmos Szigmond’s bold close-ups that highlight the beautiful Rowlands in all her lived-in glory... Rowlands and Jackson make a winning duo."

"Appealing performances by the two leads... Rowlands brings a warmth and vulnerability to her performance...SIX DANCE LESSONS should be a sturdy performer in home video formats." —Hollywood Reporter

"Gena Rowlands is a pleasure to see on film again. She brings grace and the guarded echo of beauty that a long life of disappointments and loss can bring. Her journey to find acceptance of herself and others, as she opens her heart to love again, is the gem at the center of the film... Beautifully shot... The film shows that life-changing friendships can happen at any age and that pride and intolerance don’t stand a chance in the face of compassion and respect. The lesson for all of us here is to “see” people instead of merely “look” at them. We all risk creating stereotypical barriers that we can bring unconsciously to everyone we meet. But the barriers between us are created by the mind which can cloud judgment when we could learn so much more from the simple honesty of the heart if we just trust our feelings." —Huffington Post
