Annie plows through each day desperately wanting to be the best mother, wife and provider she can be - and she’s been successful. She’s removed dance from her life so completely that even in her dreams dance is pushed behind closed doors. When a rival from her past makes her confront her feelings, she must decide if she’ll continue to lock her dreams away or allow the deepest parts of herself to take the stage.

“I’m so honored Clare and I get to go into production together. Off Center allows us to approach thorny, bittersweet emotions like regrets or wistfulness, but really what I love is the chance to pinpoint the mystery and impact that choosing to trust yourself, your instincts, your voice - wherever it leads- can take you.”
