Mad Hot Ballroom (2005)
The fifth graders in "Mad Hot Ballroom" are dedicated. It seems odd at first, to see such young people working so seriously on ballroom dancing. As they practice with their teachers and each other to learn the difficult steps and postures for the five required dances -- rumba, tango, swing, merengue, and fox trot -- they also reveal much about themselves, as thoughtful, dynamic young people. The documentary tracks three sets of students, from three NYC public schools, for months before the dance finals. While some of the young interviewees discuss the difficulties in their neighborhoods, including absent parents, drug dealers, and street violence, they handle these subjects with poise and remarkable self-awareness. They emerge from very different backgrounds, but the film suggests that dancing brings them together, and also argues for the essential role of supportive adults in any child's life.Read More
