Try to do your best (but you might not always win)
I think this movie is great. The kids work really hard and do their best. In my opinion, they are great role models for my kid. Although I watched this film more than a year ago, I still remember one boy's perplexity at having come in second, *although they had done their best and exactly what their coach/teacher had told them.* It was moving seeing him forced to absorb this painful but real life lesson (and I watched my own son absorb it by proxy).

Mad Hurt Ballroom
This is an entertaining film and a disturbing one. Why do we need to crush certain kids' spirits by cutting them after giving them hope and motivation and fun? Why does this ballroom dance program have to be a competition? Wouldn't it be just as good if it culminated in a citywide dance festival? Think about these things when you watch the losers' reactions.

I give this movie 1 star. I think the movie was not so good. The movie is about kids learning how to dance. My lest favorite part was when the kids were danceing because I don't like danceing. I don't have a favorite character because it was about danceing. Don't waste your 3 bucks on this movie- watch Ice Age instead.

My Mom Runs This where I Live!
My mom runs Dancing Classrooms where I live, so I feel proud of my mother's work. I didn't take the class, though. I also personally know Pierre DuLaine, (he's a flirt).
