“Killer footage of couples throwing each other around at high speed without mussing their hair…nudging more than a few sedentary viewers to go find dancing shoes of their own.” (Hollywood Reporter) From its beginnings with the Lindy hop in the Great Depression through near obsolescence with the advent of rock ’n’ roll, swing dance has returned in a big way—now there’s an international scene that’s embraced it with zeal. This wildly energetic documentary shows swing through the eyes (and with the legs) of today’s practitioners—some who’ve been kicking up their heels for decades—letting the audience feel what it’s like to put “real life” aside, connect with a partner for a “three-minute romance,” and move for the pure joy of it.
