Excellent, Without a doubt!!
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreIt's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
... View MoreThe acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
... View MoreThis is exhilarating! It's uplifting and life-affirming! I am not a dance fan movie and if I have any dance moves they are the opposite of Fred Astaire. But this documentary on teaching 10 year olds' to dance just grabbed me.It's about 10 year olds' in public school in New York who are taking dance lessons – as in learning tango, swing, meringue, rumba They practise and practise and then face a competition where sadly some will be eliminated. It is really worth it to just look at the expressions of these young children as they are learning and dancing. Credit really must also go to the teachers who are so dedicated.
... View MoreThis movie was great! I grew up in Harlem, New York and I loved the programs the schools offer to children. I recommended this movie for the entire family to watch. This movie was very positive and as well as inspiring! If you have children that are not excelling in other areas this kind of program will help them. The teachers and dance instructor's were wonderful with these children. The children in the movie were excellent in expressing their views on school and personal issues. I have taken this movie to my job to show the residents there. Everyone enjoyed it so much, they watched it three times. This movie bought lots of good memories to the residents. The staff also enjoyed the movie and had great comments about it. Thank you so much for such a great movie!
... View MoreI could watch this movie every week and it wouldn't be boring...just to watch these boys and girls move...try to move..and their enthusiasm, their emotions after they lost the competition, how they teachers suffer with them and are happy with them, everything is pure and authentic, the camera almost forgotten. It's really good to see that competition can exist without the influence of money or doping. It''s even fun if you are not a fan of Latin music, but this movie needs to be watch standing...moving...dancing! Do not forget the comments of the kids at the very end about their expectations of their life as adults, just those statements are worth the whole movie !Tom
... View MoreThis documentary was excellent! It had heart, soul, and passion for an art form that is making a comeback. The characters, children, parents and teachers alike, were insightful, cared for each other, and really enjoyed what they were doing. I had the opportunity to see the kids perform live last year and it was fantastic. I think parents and teachers should take as many kids as possible to see this inspirational film. I work with kids and will ask my supervisor to purchase the video when it's released, so we can show it to them. It shows how kids are open to learning new things, and how it adds to self esteem and a sense of accomplishment!
