The movie is about New York City Public school students and how a program on ballroom dancing changes their lives.

The movie follows three teams from three public schools, representing students from different boroughs of New York City. One of the schools belong to the upper strata of society, the other middle class and the third comprises of children of immigrants mostly at the poverty level. Many of these kids, mainly fourth and fifth graders took up ballroom dancing very reluctantly at first but later learned dances like merengue, foxtrot, tango, rumba and swing with great enthusiasm.

By the end of the school year, there is a city wide dance competition for these kids. Chosen for the diversity of these students, they face a tough competition to win the trophy. The dedication and enthusiasm of the children is touching. Find out who will be the stars in this year's competition.

Director Marilyn Agrelo narrates a delightful story of a group of New York City school kids who took ballroom dancing very seriously. Even though there is no real suspense in the movie, debutant filmmaker Agrelo makes the movie interesting, by focusing on students with different ethnicity and background. Agrelo presents interesting characters like Emma, Cyrus, Tara and Micky. Movie very well portray how discipline and enthusiasm about dancing transform kids from bad neighborhood and background, to behave decently. The importance of art in framing their lives is put forth effectively.

The movie is inspiring and charming. Visually the film is not that great but it has some entertainment value. Through the movie we meet some hard working dedicated teachers. Basically the film is all about love and dedication, and has great human value.

We rate this movie ABOVE AVERAGE.
