A hit with fans and critics all across the globe, Strictly Ballroom will hold you tight and dance straight into your heart. Revisit this high stepping comedy classic with a new and exclusive documentary, featuring Baz Lahrmann and his close collaborators discussing the extraordinary journey of the film. In a fabulous special edition, it's a dream come true! Review: Loved it! - If you are a fan of Baz Luhrman films this is a good one--maybe his best. Baz produced this as a live show and, based upon audience reactions, re-fashioned it until audiences went crazy for it. Then he made the film. It is his most widely crowd pleasing film to date. Some may like or dislike any one of his films, but practically everyone falls for this one. In essence, it is a modern day Australian Cinderella story. A young dancer, in line for the ballroom dancing competition crown, keeps adding new and crowd pleasing dance steps which are not approved by the dancing federation. He keeps being warned to stop and use only approved dance steps, but he simply can't limit himself to dance steps which could be learned and mastered by anyone who takes up dancing lessons (which is why the federation approves them--because anyone who takes up ballroom dancing CAN learn them). He can do things ordinary dancers can't do and refuses to limit himself to the lowest common denominator of dancers who can't perform his steps. In frustration, his dance partner leaves him to dance in the competition with another, more conservative, champion who won't keep rocking the boat the way he always does. Enter Fran: A plain looking, far less talented student being instructed at his mother's dance studio. She wants to dance in the competition with him and he agrees--to everyone's consternation. As the two of them practice their hearts out, we learn of his mother and father's past--his father lost the same battle of wills with the federation in a competition years earlier, and gave up professional ballroom dancing because of it. We also learn of Fran's family history and what she has given up to dance. As the two young dancers begin to look as though they might actually have a chance, they begin falling for each other and one federation judge starts stacking the deck against the two of them. It's an underdog story, a Cinderella story, a musical (in it's way), a romance, a comedy and a heck of a feel-good movie in the end. This was the breakthrough film that launched Baz Luhrman's filmaking career. Review: This is a movie I watch when I want to think happy about "lifes goals". - My daughter introduced this movie to me 20+ years ago & we both love it. I gave her a copy this past Christmas & ii's a very nice copiy of the movie. If you like a movie with romance, filled with comedy, young adults trying to break away from their parents goals for them to reach their goals for them. Well then you will love this movie too..Two young adults from two very differnt kinds of lives & against all odds, finding each other while having the same dreams for their lives & reaching their shared goals together...well then you will love this wonderful & a little bit crazy movie. I know my daughter & her two roommates did while each pursuing their own individul goals at Texas A&M college, Texas...and they did. Life is about our ownindivual goasl, or one you can share with someone else. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Antonio Vargas, Armonia Benedito, Barry Otto, Baz Luhrmann, Bill Hunter, Bob Adams, Gia Carides, Jack Webster, Jane Scott, John Hannan, John O'Connell, Kris McQuade, Leonie Page, Michael Burgess, Pat Thompson, Paul Bertram, Paul Mercurio, Peter Lynch, Peter Whitford, Pip Mushin, Sandy Clark, Sonia Kruger-Tayler, Tara Morice, Tristram Miall Contributor Antonio Vargas, Armonia Benedito, Barry Otto, Baz Luhrmann, Bill Hunter, Bob Adams, Gia Carides, Jack Webster, Jane Scott, John Hannan, John O'Connell, Kris McQuade, Leonie Page, Michael Burgess, Pat Thompson, Paul Bertram, Paul Mercurio, Peter Lynch, Peter Whitford, Pip Mushin, Sandy Clark, Sonia Kruger-Tayler, Tara Morice, Tristram Miall See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,699 Reviews | | Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Special Edition, Widescreen | | Genre | Comedy | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 1 | ## Images ![Strictly Ballroom - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wvoI-VZ2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! *by R***R on September 28, 2014* If you are a fan of Baz Luhrman films this is a good one--maybe his best.

Why? Because the film's fairy tale qualities, amazingly over-the-top dance numbers, nostalgia rich, MTV-era soundtrack, and memorable cast of Australian and immigrant characters never seem to get old. It’s like Sound of Music, but vastly better, especially when it comes to Generation X viewers and their progeny. Here's the holiday viewing list in its entirety: Strictly Ballroom, The Muppet Movie, Sideways, My Neighbor Totoro, Little Miss Sunshine, Goodbye Lenin, and Waking Ned Devine. Quite an eclectic mix, I grant you, but each of the films has such feel-good (and family friendly) cinematic energy that you can’t help but laugh, cry, and celebrate the sheer audaciousness and extreme artistry of the directors, actors, set designers, cinematographers, and producers who willed movies like these into existence. I mean, what were the odds that such ugly duckling movies would even get made, let alone sold years later as DVDs on Amazon? It boggles the mind. Strictly Ballroom may be particularly well suited for viewing with younger children and adolescents schooled on reality TV shows like “Dancing with the Stars” or who have never seen an Australian movie from the early 90s. The colors, the accents, the sheer fantasy of it all - simply stunning. Cyndi Lauper's “Time after Time," covered by Mark Williams and Tara Morice, never sounded better, not have I ever wanted to dance to Doris Day's "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" as much as when watching the lead actors practice their dance moves on rooftops, in studios, and while Spanish guitar players strum and strut on a forlorn backyard patio in the railroad district of town. And John Paul Young's "Love is in the Air" makes you want to relive your young adulthood all over again, as if there were not a single cynical bone in your world-weary body. It’s not so much that Baz alluded to fairy tales like the Ugly Duckling and Cinderella in this, his first film from the "Red Curtain Trilogy," as that he actually created an original and timeless fairy tale of his own making. It’s the most autobiographical of his movies, and the one with the greatest staying power. It will strike you like a flash of lightning when you first watch it, so set the stage extremely well. Choose a big screen. Light a fire and collect lots of blankets and pillows. Pour a glass of sparkling wine (and chill a second bottle in the fridge). Hold hands with someone you adore – and settle in for an emotional thrill ride that will leave you breathless! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/5603730-strictly-ballroom](https://www.desertcart.in/products/5603730-strictly-ballroom) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
