Lipes’s behind-the-scenes look at the creation of 'Paz de la Jolla' covers everything from watching the principal dancers master every turn to politicking with the orchestra to designing the costumes.

3 stars out of 4 -- [T]he movie does an excellent job of showing the commonplace workaday atmosphere that is, in fact, a big part of that business we call show.

Product Description:

Jody Lee Lipes documentary BALLET 422 follows choreographer Justin Peck as he conceives, casts, rehearses, and stages a show for the New York City Ballet. The filmmakers detail the hard work performed by many people who never get the public glory when the curtain rises, as well as the arduous physical effort professional ballet dancers put into their work.
