The New Jersey NETSationals

I will never doubt again that a geriatric hip-hop dance team—yes, geriatric—could get an arena of pro basketball fans on their feet cheering.

"Gotta Dance," a Dramatic Forces and Mitropoulos Films production opening in theaters mid-August, does just that and more, capturing the adventures of the New Jersey NETSationals, a pioneering seniors hip-hop dance team.

Talk about fun! These 12 women and one courageous man leave it all on the court, despite personal aches and pains and fuddy-duddy costumes. Although their spirited performances hold up without any back story, it's the behind-the-scenes challenges they face that compel documentary viewers to silently pull for their success.

Starting with the auditions, the personalities and individual stories of this future dance team, who talk too much, don't listen to the 20-something director enough, and struggle to learn movements alien to those who reached maturity in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, make the story a delightful romp worth the price of admission.

This is the third documentary directed and produced by three-time Tony award-winning Broadway producer Dori Berinstein. Running time, 94 minutes.
