How to become a respected ballet dancer

In his village in Haryana, Pawan Kumar's family wants him to get a job in a factory. But in his heart, he dreams of becoming something different, something "you don't do as a man" - a ballet dancer. Making a living from ballet might seem unrealistic and gender norms discourage him from giving it his all. Internationally acclaimed choreographer Ashley Lobo invites Pawan to his studio in Mumbai to challenge Pawan's idea of what being a ballet dancer really means.
