I wanted to share with you one of my favorite dance movies – The Company. I love it for it’s rich performance footage and day-in-the life feel. It’s low on plot, but high on spectacular dancing and choreography. Just for your information, the movie, featuring Neve Campbell and directed by Robert Altman, is rated PG-13 with some nudity in dressing-room scenes.
Here is a wonderful review of the movie.
It’s part of a series entitled Invitation to the Dance Movie Blogathon which features more great reviews and clips of dance movies. I read and watched YouTube clips of movies I had never seen before! Definitely worth checking out.
