Mad Hot Ballroom

Mad Hot Ballroom DVD (2005) Paramount Classics andNickelodeon Movies presents. Written by Amy Sewell, produced Amy Sewell and Marilyn Agrelo, and directed by Marilyn Agrelo.
ISBN:141571455X

Interesting documentary about middle school-age school kids in New York City learning to ballroom dance . The film provides personal perspectives from the kids about dancing and thier lives. Over ten weeks, we watch the progression of their dancing and find out how they do in a competition.

I first watched this film with a 7th grade class in an urban middle school. All the student viewers showed interest in the film to the end. Appropriate for 9 to 12 year olds.
