Strictly Ballroom (12A)

A dazzling mix of romance, comedy and exuberant dance, Strictly Ballroom launched the distinctive filmmaking career of Baz Luhrmann. Talented young ballroom dancer Scott Hastings dreams of breaking free from the rigid rules of competitive dance. When he partners with the shy and unconventional Fran, the pair discover that true success comes from dancing with passion rather than simply following the steps. Bursting with vibrant colour, unforgettable music and infectious energy, this much-loved Australian classic is an uplifting celebration of individuality, courage and the joy of finding your own rhythm.

Dance by the rules - or dance from the heart? Strictly Ballroom is Baz Luhrmann's joyous debut feature: a witty, romantic crowd-pleaser packed with spectacular dance, unforgettable characters and plenty of heart. A feel-good classic that proves the best moves are often the ones you invent yourself.“A dizzying, dance-tastic swirl of fun… goofy and loveable”: The Guardian
