Movies are listed here because I was moved by them and because they are inspirations for dance magic.
The ratings are my hit on how inspirational the movies are for dance magic. They are not ratings of the quality of the movie, although all the movies are good and suitable for friends who may not be dancers (yet).
| Movie | Comments | Rating |
