STRICTLY BALLROOM is a warm and wonderfully off-beat comedy about a dancer, Scott Hastings (Paul Mercurio), who refuses to follow the accepted rules of ballroom dancing and creates his own steps and style, thereby driving the local ballroom dancing establishment, including his own mother, absolutely nuts. Before he’s scheduled to compete in an upcoming ballroom championship, his against-the-grain stubbornness blows up in his face and forces him to take up with a new partner, Fran (Tara Morice) – a beginner who initially shows little promise. Under his tutelage she blossoms into an assured and wonderful dancer.
