Dozens of long-term residents, many in their later years, have lived amidst the scaffolding and constant construction for close to a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Against this chaotic backdrop, DREAMING WALLS takes us through the hotel\u2019s storied halls, exploring its living body and the bohemian origins that contributed to its mythical stature.

After performing all over the world, ballet dancer Steven Melendez returns to the Bronx shelter where he grew up to give back to his community, offering a ballet workshop to children.<\/p>\n<p>As young dance students, Victor, Yolanssie and Sharia face the same chasm of home insecurity that long separated Steven from his audience and makes the arts inaccessible to so many children who share his background. The children he mentors offer him insight into turning a hidden trauma into dance, and together they make an aristocratic art form into an expression all their own. (87 min.
