      abstract = {In the city of Jaffa, strife between Jewish and  Palestinian Israelis has become commonplace. The children  especially are affected, segregated along religious lines  that only throw fuel on the fires of animosity. But one man  thinks there is a solution in an unlikely place: dance.    Dancing in Jaffa follows internationally renowned ballroom  dancer Pierre Dulaine as he leads an educational program to  bring Jewish and Palestinian children together through the  power of dance. Over a ten week period, Dulaine teaches the  ten-year-olds the respect and acceptance required by the  art of ballroom dancing,  struggling every step of the way  to overcome cultural barriers and allow the children to  find a common ground.   The documentary explores the  complex stories of three different children who are forced  to confront issues of identity, segregation, and racial  prejudice as they dance with their supposed 'enemy.' The  classroom becomes a microcosm of the Middle East's struggle  to work together harmoniously in spite of the politics of  the region. Under Dulaine's guidance, the children learn to  dance together and trust one another. Dancing in Jaffa  offers an up-close-and-personal perspective of how the  future might unfold if the art of movement and dance could  triumph over the politics of history and geography.},
