B.A.T.S. Summer Movie Night

B.A.T.S. Express Yourself @ Your Library Teen Summer Movie Night

All teens, 7th grade & up, are invited to the B.A.T.S. Summer Movie Night this Thursday, June 25th at  6:30—8:30 PM in the Library/Community Room.  The featured movie is about a professional dancer who volunteers to teach a group of detention-dwellers in an inner city New York school. He is as polished as they are rough and though they clash at first, they soon begin to realize that his lessons are about more than dancing. His classic moves are combined with their hip-hop to create an incredible dance fusion that explodes on-screen.

Rated PG-13; 108 minutes; 2006
