Customer Reviews of Mad Hot Ballroom
Mad Hot Ballroom There's enough sizzle in this wonderful doc to power hundreds of preteen dance lessons, especially as the kids Agrela features--Dominican and Italian, uptowners and outer-borough residents--come from many walks of life. Aside from seeing these youths develop into fancy, sophisticated hoofers, one great charm of the film is hearing the budding dancers talk about their lives, aspirations, and (of course!) the opposite sex. With a leg up on rousing, uplifting entertainment, "Mad Hot Ballroom" makes "American Idol" look like vacuous child's play.
going for the gold
this documentary is great until the halfway point. then it sort of turns into 'rocky' for preteen ballroom students.

>but getting to this eventual point is filled with joys and heartbreaks. as a teacher, i can't watch the middle section. i just want to cry too. it's not so much because of the loss, but it's because of the accomplishment as well. this documentary is very much about the students' but you can't miss the folks that teach them something that requires extra time and preparation. they have fun, but they also feel their dreams of glamour and success revive as well. and the many forms that takes, from emotional tearbreaks to momma rose-like grit, are very real and equally powerful.
Inspirational
Mad Hot Ballroom is inspirational. The kids featured are fantastic. We adults can learn from them. They undertake something new to them and fly with it. Seeing the kids develop from the beginning stage to city champs is amazing. Listen to the messages provided by the kids themselfs. They have their visions and goals and I have no doubt that they will reach them. Kudos to the teachers for their commitment and dedication to improving our society one child at a time. I highly recommend this movie to both children and adults.
