Looking for kids film(s) with lots of dancing in

[JessicaCH]

My 7-year-old niece has always loved dancing, and has been going to ballet since she was 2, but recently has been put off it by a teacher whom she doesn't like. Her mum has asked her whether she'd like to go to a different ballet school but she said no, so her mum has decided to find a different type of dance class for her. I offered to her mum to try and find some kids' films with lots of dancing in, to re-enthuse my niece with the idea of dancing, and her mum said it would be great if I could do that. Does anyone have any recommendations, please?

Just to add - ballet used to be the highlight of her week, and she would come back super-happy from it. That's why we feel it's a pity if she's totally put off dancing by this one teacher!

Annie?

High School musical could be a good one to watch with her. The greatest showman, there is an animated film called Ballerina or Leap (it had different names in different countries I think) lots of ballet dancing in that one

First high school musical film.
7 Brides for 7 Brothers
Strictly come dancing
The Muppet Movie
Mary Poppins (the one with Dick Van Dyke in) for the chimney sweeps
The DVD again with old bamboo in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Not sure of the age guidance on these ones:
Footloose
Flashdance
Fame
Grease
Step Up
Save the last dance

Have a look on youtube for different kinds of dance:

Can’t believe that no one has mentioned Ballerina en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballerina_(2016_film)

I did!

Happy Feet

Thanks so much, everyone!

My DD is obsessed with singing in the rain. I wouldn't rule out the old musicals.

Billy elliot film and musical
Annie
Singing in the rain
Easter parade
The greatest showman
step up

Bugsie Malone?

I was going to say Bugsy Malone.

Ballerina is a great film
Descendants 1&2 and high school musical 1,2 & 3 for more street dance style
Some of the Barbie films have her as a ballet dancer.
For a slightly more grown up/real ballet experience- cinemas live performances of ballets or your local theatre may have a proper ballet as well.

Thanks very much for these ideas!
