Sam Russell tells the story of her best friend Jules Michaels. They met at the age of 6 in a dance class. Over the years they become best friends. Sam dances, but Jules is a true dancer, with true passion towards it and views it as important as life itself. Unfortunately, her passion becomes impossible when it turns out she has cancer.
Even after the bad news has been confirmed, Jules has a hard time dealing with it and still insists upon going for dance. To decrease the rate at which the cancer is spreading, she starts going for chemotherapy, which leaves her very exhausted after each time. It also causes her hair to fall out. Jules gradually has no choice but to start accepting the fact that she has to stop dancing because her body is always too lethargic.
However, Jules stops the chemo to dance once more and auditions for Juilliard in NYC as it has always been a dream of hers to get in. It takes a lot out of her but it pays off and she gets accepted.
Not long after, though, Jules loses the fight to cancer and dies.
Sam opens the letter from Juilliard and replies: "Jules Michaels won't be attending Juilliard 'cause she died".[ dubious ]
A Time For Dancing was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award and a DGA award.
