-Mad hot ballroom DVD [ISBN 141571455X] Minimum bid: $2 Marilyn Agrelo’s documentary follows three competing groups of fifth graders as they learn the music and the steps of swing, the rumba, the tango, and other ballroom dances. A picture of New York kid culture (Dominican students from Washington Heights, upscale kids from Tribeca, Italians and Asians from Bensonhurst), the film focusses not only on the buoyant work of the contestants but also on their dedicated teachers. Agrelo’s filmmaking provides telling glimpses of the students’ home lives, and she avoids any cloying sentiment. What she captures is a moving, joyous childhood escapade. -
