How could you not watch strictly ballroom, the start goes with 'what am I doing, am I failing as a mother' with the tragic aura of a someone whose son wants to quit his medical degree to join the circus. Cut to shots of the main character acrobatically shredding on the dancefloor at the ballroom dancing competition, which the ballroom freaks don't like for some reason

One Dress a Day Challenge
April: Yellow Redux
Strictly Ballroom / Gia Carides as Liz Holt
Liz wears this eye-catching feather-trimmed gown for the opening competition sequence. It gives her more than a passing resemblance to a lemon meringue pie--but even with the gold sequins and plunging neckline, it's positively restrained compared with some of the other costumes seen in the movie. (She may have the most extreme hairstyle, though--just look at those sequinned bangs!)
The photo of the dress on a mannequin may possibly be from the stage show, but it looks identical to the movie version.

Random Fact #6,383
The movies Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! are part of a movie trilogy (called the Red Curtain Trilogy).
The point of the trilogy is to tell stories through the three main types of performance storytelling in a way that constantly reminds the watcher that what they're watching isn't real.
The first movie in the trilogy is Strictly Ballroom, where most of the story is told through dance.
The second is Romeo + Juliet, where the story is primarily told through speech (the goal of breaking the suspension of disbelief is why the movie is set in modern times but the speech is the original Shakespearean text).
The third is Moulin Rouge!, whose story is mostly carried via song.
