(2005) Mad Hot Ballroom
DOCUMENTARY
Co-produced and directed by Marilyn Agrelo documenting city school kids majority of them 5th graders from the point of view from three different schools in a neighborhood in Tribeca, NY trained to competing for ballroom dancing from the tango, the rumba to the swing.
I like the fact that the movie centers the story on regular city kids we see from public schools raised by blue collar families. The willingness to compete despite their not so great home life. My only problem is that their is not enough interviews on some of the children participating in Ballroom Dancing" I'd also like to see the aftermath of whether they stay with competing in other tournaments. Otherwise it is vague.
