Razzle Dazzle: A Journey into Dance (2007)

Directed by Darren Ashton

Comedy

Overview

Razzle Dazzle follows the eager members of “Mr. Jonathon’s Dance Academy” who, with their unique dance routines, compete for Grand Final success at Australia’s most prestigious competition. Amidst parental politics, petty rivalry, creative controversy and the hysterics of pushy stage mothers, the film takes you behind the glamor and the glitter to a world where, sometimes, winning is everything!

Viewing Notes

An Australian film much in the same vein as some of the Christopher Guest mockumentaries, Razzle Dazzle follows several groups of young dance troops trying to win a competition. It delivers a much more quirky and highly amusing plot than I had expected. The music is good, the dancing ranges from hilarious to terrific and the interplay between the different styles of troops and the pushy stage moms and the directors is amusing. I liked this way more than I expected to.
