JIG - In Cinemas 1 December 2011

SYNOPSIS
JIG is the remarkable story of the 40th Irish Dancing World Championships. Three thousand dancers, their families and teachers from around the globe prepare for one drama filled week. Clad in wigs, make up, fake tan, diamantes and dresses costing thousands of dollars they compete for the coveted world titles. A year of incredibly hard work for just a few tense minutes on stage…

Award-winning filmmaker Sue Bourne went behind the normally closed doors of Irish Dancing and discovered a remarkable world of dedication, obsession and passion. Success and failure. And astonishing talents pushed to their limits in the quest for perfection.
