Mad Hot Ballroom

Marilyn Agrelo's documentary follows the progress of several 11-year old New York state school pupils as they enter the world of ballroom dancing, and go forward to take part in a city-wide dance competition. Though many are reluctant at first, their journey into merengue, rumba, tango, foxtrot and swing sees them transformed into determined competitors.

  • "Mad Hot Ballroom is an inspiring look inside the lives of ten year old New York school kids who journey into the world of dance. The school room classes offer a diverse collection of kids, many of them from immigrant families, a much needed opportunity to gain self confidence and a sense of purpose. The passionate teachers take them through a repertoire including merengue, rumba, tango, the foxtrot and swing. In the process we see the children learn a whole lot more than just how to make the right steps as they reveal pieces of themselves, on their way towards the city wide competition finals. Told from their candid, sometimes hilarious perspectives the film celebrates their intricate lives and reminds us of what it was like when anything was possible."

  • "Mad Hot Ballroom ist der preisgekrönte Film, der Viert- und Fünftklässler auf ihrem Ausflug in die Welt des Turniertanzes begleitet. Er erzählt aus ihrer ehrlichen und unbekümmerten Perspektive, wie sie lernen, dass es beim Tanzen nicht nur um einige Schritte geht - sondern ums Leben. "Sie werden aus dem Schmunzeln nicht mehr herauskommen", wenn ganz normale Stadtkinder Merengue, Tango und Rumba tanzen und sich buchstäblich in "Damen und Herren" verwandeln, als sie sich auf das heiss ersehnte stadtweite Tanzturnier vorbereiten."
  • "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."
