Feel the music (Vertical Shorts/Short Dramas)

Vertical Drama Greater London Apply by 30th October 2026, 17:00
Content
Feel the Music is a story of passion, ambition and unexpected love between two male dancers from very different worlds.
Calvin is a privileged, exceptionally talented ballet dancer whose fiery temper and relentless pursuit of perfection often get the better of him. Edgar is the school's exciting new wildcard — a phenomenal breakdancer with a quiet confidence, a free spirit and an uncanny ability to see straight through people.
When the head of the dance school pairs them together to train, their contrasting personalities and dance styles initially clash. But beneath the tension lies an undeniable chemistry. As they challenge each other, boundaries begin to break down, and rivalry gives way to attraction. What begins as an unlikely partnership develops into a passionate and unexpected love story.

CASTING REQUIREMENTS
We would particularly love to hear from actor-dancers from the LGBTQ+ community for these roles.
