Gotta Dance

Gotta Dance is 'Bad News Bears' morphed into the flip side of 'Mad Hot Ballroom.' The film chronicles the debut of the New Jersey Nets, first-ever, senior hip-hop dance team - 12 women and 1 man, all dance team newbies - from auditions through to center court stardom. As smooth dance moves are perfected and performed in front of thousands, aging myths and misperceptions are pulverized.

"A feel-good movie if ever there was one… leaves you with that oh-so-rare but genuine warm and fuzzy feeling."

"Finally a documentary that will make you glad you're not young anymore… laugh, shake your bootie and get ready to boogie."

"A high-energy, fun-loving audience pleaser."

"A MUST-SEE MOVIE!"

"I had just as much fun watching seniors dance to hip-hop music than I did watching IRON MAN over the weekend. Seriously."
