Big Moves

After a lifetime of being told that, as a fat person, she could not dance (and believing it), Glasgow filmmaker Sarah Grant was surprised to learn when doing dance classes over Zoom in the pandemic (with the camera off, of course), that this was a big fat lie.  She shares her experiences, while recreating some of cinema's most famous dance routines.

Big Moves is an exploration of the mythology surrounding dance and dancers’ bodies, and how its cultural depiction of perfection has unintentionally fed Sarah’s lifelong struggle with perfectionism.
