"How to Dance in Ohio"
debuted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
"How to Dance in Ohio"
asks the question, how do you prepare for the social event of the season when
socializing itself can be paralyzing?
In
the HBO documentary, three young women, each living with autism, ready
themselves for a teenage rite of passage: The spring formal. Their preparation
includes rituals both familiar (dress shopping, dance lessons) and uniquely
challenging (therapy). Directed by Alexandra Shiva, the moving film debuted at
the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
"How
to Dance in Ohio" premieres on HBO on October 26. Watch the exclusive
trailer above.
