Directed by Ron Honsa

Never Stand Still explores why dance matters to those who create and perform it and to those who watch it. Shot on location at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, the film chronicles the inspirational story of how an abandoned Massachusetts farm has become America's longest running dance festival and evolved into a focal point for dance throughout the world. Candid conversations with world-class choreographers and dancers, thrilling performances, backstage access and rare archival footage transport the viewer into a world of non-stop movement.
