| Plot: | 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 hilarious 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. Providing unique insight into the incredible cultural diversity that is New York City, this film profiles several kids from three schools (out of 60) at this dynamic age, when becoming that "cool" teenager vies for position with familiar innocence, while they learn the merengue, rumba, tango, the foxtrot and swing. |

Tiny boy with curly hair: A girl and a boy loving each other, you know, really loving each other and being together and [waxes lyrically for a while]... It is very beautiful! White chubby kid: My religion does not allow me to dance, and Mouhamed's does not allow him to dance either, so we have really enjoyed being DJs. Mouhamed: Everybody has been very nice to me, although... I am... from another... [hesitates] country. Alex Tchassov: Let's use this trick, eye-to-eye connection, I am serious. Take a look at each other like [it is for the] last time in your life. Kids: Aw man, no! Alex Tchassov: Ok. What is problem? |
