"Mad Hot Ballroom" Screening

"Mad Hot Ballroom" 10th Anniversary Celebration & Screening

Catch up with the young stars, dance instructors and filmmakers behind the popular documentary "Mad Hot Ballroom" a decade after their film debuted, and enjoy pre-show dance classes and demos by current program participants, a post-show Q&A and more. Winner of several major critics' awards, the hit film follows a group of 11-year-old public school students, from Washington Heights and elsewhere in the city, who go through an incredible, and often amusing, transformation, as they get ready to compete in a ballroom dance competition. Get your tickets from Goldstar to this free-to-the-public event and enjoy a members-only pre-screening tour of the historic and beautifully designed Art Deco-era United Palace Theatre and a free bag of popcorn. Please see the full event description for the schedule of activities.
