In Iran is het verboden om te dansen. Ondanks de gevaren besluiten Afshin Ghaffarian en haar vrienden een underground dansgroep te beginnen. Door het geblokkeerde Youtube te hacken leren ze de bewegingen van de allerbesten - Michael Jackson, Pina Bausch, Gene Kelly en Rudolf Noerejev. Ze genieten van de vrijheid van meningsuiting die de dans hen geeft. Ze besluiten een optreden te geven midden in de woestijn, ver weg van het toeziend oog van de militaire politie.
Nee, helaas is Desert Dancer nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
