The live-action Wandance film has a new extended trailer, and it leads with exactly what fans of the dance manga want to see: the movie's dance sequences, set alongside a first listen at the film's theme song.

Both Anime News Network and Crunchyroll News flagged the trailer, which arrives as the production enters its final promotional stretch. The adaptation opens in Japanese theaters on November 27 โ€” just over three weeks out.

Dance-centered stories are among the hardest manga properties to translate to live action, since the whole premise rests on movement that the page can only suggest. That makes trailer footage of the actual choreography the single most important marketing asset this production has, and the decision to build the extended cut around the dance scenes suggests the filmmakers know it.

No international release plans have been detailed in the current coverage, so overseas fans are watching the Japanese opening for now. Expect a clearer picture of the film's reception โ€” and any wider rollout โ€” once it hits theaters at the end of the month.
