Clearly the producers and actors put their hearts into this in bringing to life the old and the new. This is especially so in the way they covered many of the students, whose journeys parallel those of the older folks when they lived there. It helps to be of a certain age in viewing this and even more so if you hail from the Bronx. A thoughtful, entertaining and ultimately celebratory documentary. I particularly liked how at the end-credits they updated the status of many of the students who were the subjects of much of this film.

The new host, Ashley Roberts, is engaging, vivacious, fearlessly talented and quite beautiful to boot! She throws herself into all kinds of situations with grace and enthusiasm. For example, her ability to quickly pick up new dancing routines – ranging from "Litefeet" hip hop in the NY subways, to Irish dancing in the next segment, and then Kenyan dancing in subsequent sequence – is a wonder and a joy. This show is always a treat. You never know where they are going to be across the country in any given episode. Please keep up the great work and know that you have many more fans than write in these IMDb user posts.
