About This Movie

He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin' is a fascinating glimpse into youth and creativity, directed with a raw touch. It centers on the hustle of NYC schoolchildren drawn to Jacques d'Amboise's modern dance program, which is quite demanding. The kids give up a lot—sports, music, free time—just to be part of this experience. What stands out is d'Amboise's approach; he sees creativity as something everyone has, not just the naturally gifted. There's this infectious energy and genuine passion in the performances that really hits you. It's a documentary that captures not just dance but the spirit of determination and the power of art in education. The pacing is engaging, with an atmosphere that's both hopeful and inspiring.
