The portrait of the girls, their hard-up but loving parents (two are single mums, men being conspicuous by their absence) and the school staff egging them on is in turns saddening and lovely, the drama of their collective effort intensely moving. Aug 11, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The film is perhaps not entirely candid about all the bad stuff backstage, and there are complex personal issues that are not entirely absorbed. But a very likable film. Aug 11, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's not unreasonable to assume that the title doesn't refer to this chosen form of dancing as much as it refers to the steps each girl must take if she wants to break free from her surroundings and escape into the world at large. Jul 21, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Tightly edited at under 90 minutes, the film also finds an ideal resolution, culminating in college response letters and graduation. A hand-clapping, foot-stomping crowd-pleaser all around. Apr 16, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
