This documentary was released by Nickelodeon. I saw a teaser
for it in different film and was attracted to it immediately.
A competition is held for 10 year olds in New York City
which covers the whole town.
The film follows the training of the dancers and the
competition. Think of a cross between Spellbound and
Strictly Ballroom.
What you see in the film is this group of kids gaining
poise, confidence and style-- things which, in an ideal
world, would be a part of everyone's upbringing. For myself,
it made me sad that I never had such an experience. But
the film is fast-moving and joyful. You can see the fun the
dance teachers are having in this activity.
This film shows everything rather than telling it. That's
what a good film does.
The film is available at libraries just about everywhere.
