Special trailer for Leap! that was released to online audiences only. Film was originally released to international markets under the title Ballerina.
In the 1880s, 11-year-old Félicie (Elle Fanning), a poor orphan girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina, but lacks formal training, runs away from her orphanage in rural Brittany with her best friend, Victor (Dane DeHaan), a young inventor. Together they go to beautiful Paris, but they soon become separated, as Victor becomes an office boy in Gustave Eiffel's workshop. Félicie gets a chance to audition for the celebrated school of the Paris Opera Ballet by briefly assuming the identity of the ruthless, snobby and bratty Camille Le Haut (Maddie Ziegler). Penniless, and without any formal dance experience, Félicie finds her training, and making friends at the ballet school among her fellow-students, very difficult. She finds a mentor: a mysterious cleaning woman with a limp, Odette (Carly Rae Jepsen), who turns out to be a former prima ballerina. With no technique but great determination, and the help of Victor and Odette, Félicie faces many failures and challenges. Mérante (Terrence Scammell), the school's exacting choreographer, dismisses the worst dancer in each class each day, so the pressure is great for Félicie to improve quickly to avoid elimination and claim the role of Clara in The Nutcracker. She must have the courage to follow her passion, work hard to turn her dreams into reality and work out "why she dances".
