Agree w/Trippin Zig, fun film & her wardrobe's sick

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2007)

Agree totally w/Trippin Ziggy, great movie if you love dance and can get past the cheese factor. The obligatory final dance is well choreographed, efforts to conceal male lead's dance double aren't too obvious (ie having her look out window at him dancing...v. clever), and T-Zig is right, her outfits are adorably quirky. Wish I had her wardrobe and her pirouette...enjoy this movie every time they make it!
Seriously, it would be nice if someone made a realistic movie about small-company/gypsy dancers...something neither as self-consciously arty as The Company nor as formulaic as Step Up, Save the Last Dance, etc. etc. Maybe I'm looking for a documentary or something close to it. Would also nice to understand better the life-after-dance of those who have done it successfully...the teachers, coaches, and so on. There's an entire cable channel called Classic Sports...other than replays, it's interviews with ex-players. Where is Classic Arts?
