USA - 2005
Director: Marilyn Agrelo
Cast: Sid Grant, Tara Devon Gallagher,
Yomaira Reynoso, Wilson Castillo, Alyssa Polack
Plot: Eleven-year-old New York City
public school kids journey into the world of ballroom dancing and reveal
pieces of themselves and their world along the way. Told from their candid,
sometimes hilarious perspectives, these kids are transformed, from reluctant
participants to determined competitors, from typical urban kids to "ladies
and gentlemen," on their way to try to compete in the final citywide competition.
Providing unique insight into the incredible cultural diversity that is
New York City, this film profiles several kids from three schools (out
of 60) at this dynamic age, when becoming that "cool" teenager vies for
position with familiar innocence, while they learn the merengue, rumba,
tango, the foxtrot and swing.
