Lady Be Good Production Poster With Woman In Red Dress Facing Bar

Lady Be Good

In the realm of artistic expression, dance has the power to evoke emotions and tell stories in ways words alone cannot. "Lady be Good" is a short jazz dance film that weaves a mesmerizing tale of nostalgia and fond memories. The film centers around the female protagonist as she sways around the tables and chairs with the support of the men in the bar. Despite being centered around a skilled and flirtatious dancer, the narration comes from the perspective of the shy bartender, while he recalls a lively and enchanting evening come to life through the expressive and rhythmic movements of jazz dance. A mere onlooker upon this joyous celebration, he broodingly reminiscences over a drink in the now empty bar.
