Best of ATB from 2006: Can Aussie Blokes Dance?
|
When we turned the spotlight upon the dancefloors of Australia, the men who came into the light to take a twirl, to show their footwork, and to explaion their passion for music and dance . . . we were swept off our feet.
So we sinply had to replay those charming stories.
For many years the words, men and dance, just didn't seem to gel. Then along came films such as Strictly Ballroom and Bootmen, an increasing number of dance classes from salsa to hip-hop and dancing shows on prime time telly. All these have cracked the stereotype that Aussie blokes don't get foot-loose.
This program was first broadcast on 26 October 2006.
