Mad Hot Ballroom!

So today I was bored at home, looking for something good on TV...there was nothing, so I decided to watch something random on Direct TV. I decided on a documentary called "Mad Hot Ballroom", and I ended up liking it! It's about school kids in New York being forced to learn ballroom dancing for school. It's pretty enduring and cute, and also great reference for drawing kids!
Seriously, if you want some fun practice for funny heads and expressions, watch this movie! I don't even really like children, but I loved the kids in this movie...they're really fun to watch!
I'll admit though- these drawing are boring, despite the great material that is in this movie. I unfortunately didn't get past the first stage- just attempting to DRAW the kids, let alone their funny expressions and dancing around. Be kind! This stuff is hard for me!
This girl was really inspiring! My drawing of her doesn't do her cute expressions and mannerisms justice.
More kids...
Oh yeah!! This guy was in the background, lurking about. The Daisy Duck heels are my own addition...the guy in the film is cut off at the knees, so I had to make up his shoes.
