Gotta Dance - Grey Hairs and All
July 30th 2009 15:01
Gotta Dance captures the adventures of the first-ever senior citizen hip hop dance team for the New Jersey Nets Basketball Team.
A critic and audience crowd-pleaser when it premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, The documentary looks like something fun to watch and appreciate. The senior citizens really talk it up on a personal level. We follow them from auditions, rehearsals through to center court stardom. I wonder if they had to pass a physical exam before joining the dance team.
Amazing, despite swollen ankles, challenges from their 20-something Nets Dancer coaches, exhausting rehearsals, fashion crises, radical personality transformations and seemingly impossible dance steps, the NETSational Seniors spread joy, inspiration and cool dance moves as they hip-hop their way into the hearts of Nets fans and beyond. Director Dori Berinstein captures the struggle as well as the determination and spirit of the team to prove that the music doesn't stop, even if you're pass the half-century mark or more.
