Back before Dancing with The Stars, there was Strictly Ballroom – a movie that brought ballroom dancing to life in a whole new way. And now, finally, this classic movie is being released on blu-ray! It had been years since I had seen it and I’m happy it’s back.
The movie has drama, humor, romance and lots of fabulous dancing. The story and characters are predictable and similar to other movies made before and after this one, but the amazing dancing is what pulls the whole story together. It somehow feels fresh and exciting even when I know exactly what’s going to happen next.
Baz Luhrmann is a talented director who knows how to make movies that we want to watch again and again.
