What We Do When We Can’t Dance is a vibrant, music-driven coming-of-age story performed by a talented cast of young artists from refugee backgrounds.

James has an ambition to live in the city and with a very persuasive, but unreliable older brother, Jackie; James finishes his exams, leaves home and moves in with Jackie in London. However, he leaves behind an unexpected but blossoming relationship with his next-door neighbour Stella as well as his childhood best friend, Moses. Then, on the night of his 18th birthday, a shocking revelation from his best friend threatens to shatter everything James thought he knew about love, loyalty and the future.
