Jig Review

Dancing Queen(s)........Jig
This 97-minute long documentary about the 40th Irish Dancing World Championships, is heart-felt for the first hour or so, but tails off into a Britain's Got Talent/The X Factor-esque technique, with drum beats and a screaming audience. In the first 50 minutes, it shows girls, boys, teenagers and teachers talk about how they discovered Irish dancing and how good they are at it. From Moscow to Rotterdam, its shows in some cases, compelling stories about people who have made giant changes in their lives to fit in their hobby. The final is in Glasgow, Scotland and the giant, puffy wigs, spray tan by the gallon, and diamante, sequined dresses are all set to dance on stage. 

3/5
