Rating: 5.0
Dancing Your Way to Independent Film Spotlight....
This is an amazing film especially because it is one of the first of the independent films to break through the glass ceiling versus studio films. It is a great film to see for anyone who wants to write their own script or yearns to turn their own novel or life story into a movie. Nostalgic look at coming of age through a summer experience of awe. Jennifer Grey is hauntingly warm and amazingly open in her performance. Patrick Swayze remains eternally sexy. Dance is simply a vehicle for showing passion and expression especially in a generation gap world like the surroundings of where they work in the Poconos. This film has a heartbeat that just keeps on going -- kind of like the Energizer bunny-- you can watch it at different phases of your life and find that it reminds you of something in the past yet at the same time hints at the potential for your future even if you can't waltz or Foxtrot your way to the same spotlight they chose.
