Editorial Reviews

Scott Hastings is a champion caliber ballroom dancer, but much to the chagrin of the Australian ballroom dance community, Scott believes in dancing "his own steps". Fran is a beginning dancer and a bit of an ugly duckly who has the audacity to ask to be Scott's partner after his unorthodox style causes his regular partner to dance out of his life. Together, these two misfits try to win the Australian Pan Pacific Championships and show the Ballroom Confederation that they are wrong when they say, "there are no new steps!"

5 stars for the movie. No stars for no Region A/1 release. Hopefully there will be Region A/1 release soon so I can upgrade the rating to match the movie,

This review is from: Strictly Ballroom (DVD)

This is one of my favorite dance movies. It is funny, features some really terrific dance scenes, a fun plot, and great costumes! I don't want to add spoilers...but the story takes place somewhere down under at and around a ballroom dance school. There are so many unforgettable fantastic scenes! This movie is one that I enjoy watching again and again, only to discover something else I hadn't noticed before. The cast are terrific and it is just a total keeper of a film!

Treat for the eyes, the ears, the funny bone and the heart. This movie is fresh, original, hilarious and so tender and touching. The mother made me laugh til I cried!! And Scott...ooooooohhhh. Yes, a Cinderella story but those continue to be popular because we all need them to be true!!! Stays in the tradition of GREAT Aussie films!! Strictly Ballroom is Strictly Brilliant!!
