Synopsis
A look inside the lives of New York City school kids on a journey into the world of ballroom dancing--a new and unexpected arena where they discover home truths about attitude, movement, style and commitment. Told from the candid, sometimes hilarious perspective of the boys and girls themselves, the picture chronicles their transformation from typical urban kids to "ladies and gentlemen," as their school teams aim towards a final citywide competition.
