The problem with this movie is that none of the kids can really dance. Even in the much anticipated "finals" , after spending 70 minutes watching a couple of kids say one or two cute things and learn some steps, they basically end up stumbling around on an open air stage, and then wait very excitedly to hear who will win the "revered" CUP. I see others here mention the movie "Spellbound" - now THAT is a great docu to watch, because the kids are phenominal, their background stories diverse and fascinating, and the prize they compete for has clout. This is a home movie intended for the participants, NOT the rest of the world. Imagine watching a home video of your baby brother singing a song badly. Everyone in the family goes :"aaaahhhh" and enjoys it, but as soon as you have to show it to strangers it becomes embarrassing. Ditto this movie. It's really "much ado about nothing". Don't waste your time.
