Who says you can’t hip-hop if you’re 80-years-old? Who says your days as an athlete are long
gone? Who says you can’t shake things up and light up a jam-packed sports arena with your hot
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 chronicles the debut of the New Jersey Nets, first-ever, senior hip-hop dance team, 12 women and 1 man, all dance team newbies, from auditions through to center court stardom.
