Joy Womack Documentary DVD
Watch Joy Womack: The White Swan to be inspired by an Amercian ballerina’s journey to Russia, the Bolshoi Ballet and Swan Lake.
Many children here in the United States enjoy taking ballet lessons, when they are young.
It is fun for kids and, of course, cute for parents to watch their little ones dance.
It takes a serious commitment and a whole lot of hard work to take ballet from a childhood activity to career.
Joy Womack accepted the challenge and committed herself to lofty goals.
Naturally, the documentary is great for ballet fans.
However, anyone can enjoy her journey that combines the art and athleticism of ballet with the cultural and political issues involved with her move to Russia.

Synopsis
The film follows several years in the life of Joy Womack, the first American to graduate from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy’s main training program.
Also, she is the first American woman to sign a contract with the Bolshoi Ballet.
Joy grew up in a typical American family.
She always wanted to be a ballet dancer and moved to Russia when she was 15 to follow her dream.
Without a word of Russian, not completely fit for the physical requirements of Russian ballet dancers, Joy shows her strength and dedication to ballet and accomplishing her dreams.
We follow Joy’s personal and professional life: from her daily challenges, injuries, performances to becoming a ballet dancer with Bolshoi Theatre group and then prima ballerina of Kremlin Ballet.
She has the performance of her lifetime – Swan Lake, before closing this chapter of her life and leaving Russia to pursue new opportunities.
