Entertaining, simple and affecting documentary demonstrating the benefits of combining dance and pedagogy. The audience does not learn too much detail about the lives of any of the participants, but this is almost certainly a good thing: the filmmakers showed admirable restraint in letting the story tell itself, rather than tugging too manipulatively at the heartstrings.

Quite charming and heartwarming. It's nice to see kids who are neither precocious little sugarcubes nor corrupted little shits.

It will entertain viewers that normally eschew documentaries, as it has its own drama, cast of zany characters, and plenty of music and dancing.
