Beauty From Ashes is the first cinematic deep dive into the country partner dance competition circuit — a traveling, social-media-driven subculture blending cowboy style with ballroom and street dance.

Set inside a nomadic world of bars, competitions, and viral clips, the film follows Mark whose search for sobriety, fatherhood, and self-regulation unfolds through a raw, emerging dance culture that exists equally online and on the floor.

This is not a novelty portrait of dance. It is an intimate character study and a cultural document — capturing a living subculture at the moment it is defining itself.
