#RomeoAndJuliet was the second of Luhrman’s #RedCurtainTrilogy. Weird that a film as over-the-top as #StrictlyBallroom feels small and intimate in comparison. (Also, later: my actual wedding featured an orchestral song from #MoulinRouge. ❤️) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Curtain_Trilogy

I have the “Red Curtain Trilogy” boxset that also has “Romeo Juliet” (1996) and “Moulin Rogue” (2001) back at home. Probably the first boxset I ever purchased. Very worth it, if you can get it and you’re a fan of Buz Lurhman’s whole ~ thing~

As a breakdancer decades ago, I have some understanding of the moves and what constitutes a quality performance.

I saw her performance and was... underwhelmed. However, she's a 36 year old professor, not a lifelong or full time B-Girl, so does it matter?
There's certainly no reason to be cruel.

And, in true #Australian tradition - "she danced her own steps." 😉

A ★★★★ review of Strictly Ballroom (1992)

Mackenzie's dad from Neighbours, and Bianca & April's mum from Home and Away sure can dance.

Just been to see #StrictlyBallroom at the #theatre - what a delight! Fabulous dancing (esp Rico's Pasa Doble💃) and lots of humour. It definitely kept some of the pastiche style from the film.
Shame it was a little miscast (IMO) but I guess they need the "big name"?
