THE BUSINESS OF FANCYDANCING is writer/director Sherman Alexie's first film since his 1998 smash success Smoke Signals, which he wrote. A ceremony of poetry, song, dance, humor, grief and memory, THE BUSINESS OF FANCYDANCING is the story of one man's art and life, and the messy collision between the two.
