Gotta Dance

Who says you can't hip-hop if you're 80-years-old? Who says your days as a performer are long gone? Who says you can't shake things up and light up a jam-packed sports arena with your hot dance moves and cool attitude? Just because you're a card-carrying member of AARP, do you have to give up on your dreams? No. You don't. Absolutely not. Gotta Dance, a coming-of-age dance feature, chronicles the debut of the New Jersey Nets first-ever, senior citizen hip-hop dance team - 12 women and 1 man - all dance team newbies, from auditions and rehearsal through to center court stardom. Despite swollen ankles, exhausting rehearsals, hip-hop phobia and seemingly impossible dance steps, the NETSational Senior's go for it, spreading joy, inspiration and cool dance moves as they hip-hop their way into the hearts of Nets fans and beyond. As their smooth dance moves are perfected and performed in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans, aging myths and misperceptions are pulverized.
