		But Strictly Ballroom is the most conventional of the three — energetic (but not as frenetic as its successors), and as colorful and exuberant as an old Technicolor musical from MGM.
		Strictly Ballroom was made on a miniscule budget in comparison to Moulin Rouge, but that didn't stop Luhrmann from indulging himself in building the sets that would let him create a parallel universe for his dance community.
		While it lacks Strictly Ballroom's romance and melodrama, it still seems startlingly familiar as the filmmakers interview and follow several dancers, their instructors, and families leading up to a climax at the 1985 Professional Dance Championship.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom
		But in direct contravention of the rules and traditions of ballroom dancing (which have as much to do with the teaching of dance to willing customers as with dance itself), Scott has recently developed a dangerous desire to dance his own "crowd-pleasing steps".
		When Scott's partner leaves him, he's forced to audition new ones, none of whom are very satisfactory, until, improbably, the homely and awkward Fran, who usually has to dance with another girl, demonstrates that she understands what he's aiming at.
		They must respect the conventions of ballroom dance, with its basis in the couple, even as they expand its possibilities and violate the self-serving diktats of the corrupt elders who run the competitions.

		Simply Ballroom (1992) began for director Baz Luhrmann as a project when he was a drama student, then re-worked to become an award-winning production at a Czech theater festival, and then re-tooled yet again as a successful stage show.
		In bringing it to the screen, Luhrmann created the first of what he now refers to as his "red-curtain cinematic form," using a highly stylized, theatrical presentation to tell a simple, classic story.
		He never lets you forget that you're watching a movie, a conceit that works brilliantly because Strictly Ballroom is such an old-fashioned story, recalling boy-meets-girl films of the past where we know a happy ending is assured once the boy and girl overcome the inevitable obstacles.
