THE FILM

Marilyn Agrelo | 2005 | US | 106 mins
Eleven-year-old New York City public school kids journey into the world of ballroom dancing and reveal pieces of themselves and their world along the way. Told from their candid, sometimes humorous perspectives, these kids are transformed, from reluctant participants to determined competitors, from typical urban kids to “ladies and gentlemen,” on their way to try to compete in the final citywide competition.

When: Thursday, September 3 | 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM
Where: South Meadow (View Directions and Site Map here)
Admission:Free
