Synopsis
Alive and Kicking is a documentary about swing dancing, its origins in Harlem, and its rebirth throughout the 1990s to today.
Reception
Critical response
Offering likeable characters and some killer footage of couples throwing each other around at high speed without mussing their hair, the documentary will please at fests and on TV while likely nudging more than a few sedentary viewers to go find dancing shoes of their own.
