Mad Hot Ballroom (2005)

A fun documentary the whole family can enjoy. The movie follows several groups of 5th graders as they take ballroom dancing classes at their public schools. At first it seems like trying to teach a bunch of monkeys how to ice skate, but soon the awkward shuffling turns into graceful steps. The best couples are invited to participate in regional and statewide competitions, where the level of dance is substantially elevated.

I have no personal interest in ballroom dance, but I was thoroughly entertained.

Rating: B-
