An army of competitive dancers are ready to take over the world, one routine at a time. Dance Nation shows the ferocious angst and ecstasy of a troupe of pre-teens, a mixture of the frightened and the feral, thrust into a world of cut-throat dance competition.

With a battle for power and perfection raging on and off stage, Clare Barron’s Dance Nation is a fun and ferocious exploration of sex and sensuality, confidence and ambition in young women.

‘Blazingly original. Dance Nation conjures the passionate ambivalence of early adolescence with sharpness and poignancy.’ – New York Times
