Description

Sheri "Sparkle" Williams has danced for most of her life, and she's not about to give up now. Battling through injury, and performing at an age when most dancers have moved to the wings, Sheri inspires her colleagues and electrifies audiences with her talent, charisma and signature "sparkle." With intimacy and eloquence, Reichert and Bognar capture the tenacity and passion that keep this astounding dancer moving.
