Leading Ladies is an award winning 2010 dance film, about an overbearing ballroom stage mother and her two daughters who must redefine their roles in life, and on the dance floor, as each learns to "Let Love Lead.". The film was directed by Denver husband and wife Daniel Beahm and Erika Randall Beahm (Teahm Beahm), and stars Benji Schwimmer (winner, So You Think You Can Dance (Season 2).[1]), Melanie LaPatin (choreographer, So You Think You Can Dance[2]), Laurel Vail, Shannon Lea Smith, and Nicole Dionne. The film also features dance scenes with finalists from So You Think You Can Dance (Season 3) and So You Think You Can Dance (Season 4): Katee Shean, Kherington Payne, Courtney Galiano, and Sara Von Gillern.[3]
