Irlan and Isabela are two young teenagers from Rio in Brazil, they're both from poor families but share a dream, they both want to become professional dancers. For Irlan, the decision to act on his feeling and become a dancer wasn't an easy one, in the area of Rio where his family are from, it's unheard of for men to join the ballet, his father was unsure of Irlan's choice, until he saw him dance and then he knew it was the right thing for him to do. Only When I Dance follows Irlan and Isabela's lives and shows many of sacrifices their families must give to enable a better life for their children.
