Mad Hot Ballroom meets Paris is Burning ... or is it RuPaul's Drag Race meets Dancing with the Stars? Whatever your reference, the award-winning and crowd-pleasing documentary Hot to Trot offers a deep-dive look inside the fascinating but little-known world of same-sex competitive ballroom dance.
This
lively, poignant film follows an international cast of four magnetic
men and women over several years, on and off the dance floor, as they
journey to the quadrennial Gay Games. Along the way, dancing is revealed
to be both a means of overcoming personal hardships – from drug
addiction to familial rifts – and a joyous opportunity to merge
passionate artistic
expression with proud sexual identity.
