MAD HOT BALLROOM

"Anyone can make it if they learn how to shake it."

20051h 45m6.7 TMDb

Directed by Marilyn Agrelo

Spoiler-Free

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 humorous 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.
