The second film of the series, dance documentary “5,6,7,8,” will be shown at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Palatine Road, Palatine. The film, winner of Best Documentary at the 2010 Blue Whisky Independent Film Festival, will be shown on the theater’s new projection screen.

“5,6,7,8” is a documentary that captures the emotions and excitement of a year in the life of Nova Jazz, an elite girls dance company. The dancers, ages 10 to 18, are based out of The Pulse Performing Arts Studio in Bedford Hills, N.Y.

In his online review of the film, the Independent Critic states, “With honesty and intelligence and heart, ‘5,6,7,8’ celebrates the young people who comprise the Nova Jazz Dance Company, young girls whose enthusiasm and commitment and varying degrees of talent will leave you entertained and inspired.” To read the entire review, visit theindependentcritic.com/5678.
