Challenging, gritty, and true.

A film of easy set ups and resolutions, Dance Party, USA is best when observing how crisis is metabolized.
11/09/06
A pair of disaffected 17-year-olds are nudged toward adulthood in a movie that favors natural drift over artificial drama.

Top CriticDramatically simple but emotionally complex.
11/16/06
Dance Party, USA is part of a new direction for independent film: homemade movies that feel more personal than communitarian and, as a result, seem less moralizing and dogmatic than the familiar, tired Sundance model.
03/16/07
Given the obvious financial restraints (the total budget was $3,000), maybe Dance Party should have been a dynamite short.
