Inspired by a true story, The Light Fantastic follows Jason, a thirty-something gay firefighter who dreams of becoming a professional ballroom dancer.

Set in the vibrant heart of Blackpool, ballroom dancing capital of the world, Jason battles the rigid traditions of ballroom under the close watch of his ultra-traditional instructor Reynolds. While embarking on a journey of self-discovery he is learning to listen to his heart before he can truly dance to its rhythm.
