    Feel good movie which makes you wanna swing!

    Still waiting for that Hollywood non documentary movie about the roots of Lindy Hop with a great story (about Franky) and a lot of dance in it. Why isn't this here yet still?

    This documentary movie really portraits how most (lindy hop) swing dancers feel! It makes me wanna dance, it makes me feeling good, it makes me want to dress up vintage style and it makes me want to see more new movies about swing dance! Please someone, make that Hollywood movie! Waiting for years now. (And yes I have seen all the existing other movies like Swing Kids).

    In the mean time, enjoy Alive and Kicking and start dancing if you aren't yet. I watch it once every year since it is out 😉

    This film will make a non-dancer understand why people love to swing dance.

    Alive and Kicking follows a select group of swing dancers who actively participate in competition around the world. This documentary provides a snap shot of what it's like to be a competitive dancer and why the dance brings joy to so many people around the world. There are great moments in the film that let the viewer experience laughter, joy, and even sadness and empathy for the difficulties some of the dancers have been through. Overall, though, the experience as a whole is energetic and will make even a non-dancer understand why so many people love swing dancing.

    A small criticism is that film's beginning and ending feel a bit abrupt, but once you jump into the stories, dance footage, and music; the viewer is swept up into a world where the most important experience is to have fun.
