Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Dein Perry created the stage show 'Tap Dogs,' and this film essentially adapts that blue-collar tap aesthetic to narrative form. Many cast members were actual Tap Dogs performers.
Released the same year as 'Billy Elliot,' this became the forgotten working-class dance movie—despite beating it to the 'industrial setting' concept. Australia's film industry never knew how to sell it.
