By making fun of dance movies, the new release Dance Flick may offend some viewers, but it also serves as a reminder of how enjoyable watching dancers on screen can be. That’s why “Movie Addict Headquarters” has scheduled a salute to this art form on Tuesday, May 26, with a special show titled “That’s Film Dancing!” Fausta Wertz, an avid dance fan, will join producer Nikki Starr, co-host Jazz Shaw, and me for a lively discussion about our favorite dancers, movies, and dance sequences on film. Some surprise guests might also call in!

This show airs at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on BlogTalkRadio. During the live show, listeners are invited to call in and to participate in a chat. An archived segment will also be available. The call-in number is 646-478-5668.
