Description: |
Australian 'mockumentary' in the style of Christopher Guest ('Best In Show', 'A Mighty Wind'). Every year in Australia, thousands of children take part in the Sanosafe Dance Troupe Spectacular. It is a highly competitive world, full of colourful characters, overbearing parents and budding young stars. For the last few years, the competition has been won by Miss Elizabeth's dance school troupe. Miss Elizabeth (Jane Hall) has very high expectations of her students and she thinks nothing of humiliating them if they don't come up to scratch. She has a low opinion of her competitors, particularly Mr. Jonathan (Ben Miller). Mr Jonathan and his Jazzketeers tend to do things a bit differently. He likes to choreograph dances with political messages, which are less acceptable to audiences and judges alike and consequently his dance school has achieved little success in the competition. Nonetheless, Mr Jonathan has a loyal support base, including his school's business manager Barbara (Denise Roberts), Justine(Kerry Armstrong), the pushy mother of his student Tenille (Shayni Notelovitz), and his costume maker (Tara Morice). Both Miss Elizabeth and Mr Jonathan enter their dance troupes into the competition and must cope with many obstacles and adversities along the way. |
