Another thing you might mention is New York City's "American Ballroom Theater's Dancing Classrooms," the subject of a documentary "Mad Hot Ballroom." You can find info about the documentary here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000ADS6DA/qid=1129651184/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-7916685-6784806?v=glance&s=dvd
by reading the reviews, or doing appropriate web searches. The American Ballrrom Theater's Dancing Classrooms" website is at
http://americanballroomtheater.com/dancingclassrooms.htm

Basically, it is the story of the impact ballroom is making on the lives of youth in NYC public schools. From my experience growing up, many kids think anything their "city" counterparts are doing is is automatically cool...
