Gotta Kick it Up
2002AL85 min5.4/10
A new coach and her middle school dance team surprise all their doubters.
It's the beginning of a new school year at Marshall Middle School, but for one group of girls, it feels more like the end: the dance team coach has retired, with no replacement in sight. But Ms. Bartlett, the new biology teacher, has studied dance and accepts the role. After their first competition is a disaster, the team buckles down and greatly improves. But when the girls enter another competition – without school or parental permission – they risk losing their coach. The girls must cope with troubled relationships, failing grades, low self-esteem and a lack of funds but their new "Sí, se puede" attitude pulls them through to the finals.
