Mad Hot Ballroom

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

PG 2005 · 105 min · ★ 6.7 · Documentary, Family

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.
