With the tagline "Age doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese," Gotta Dance sets its defiant yet humorous tone right from the start. Director Dori Berinstein splits her time between filmmaking and Broadway producing, putting her in a unique position to see the impact of ageism in different industries. When the chance to document the rise of the NETSational Seniors — the NBA's first all-senior hip-hop dance crew — came her way, it seemed a natural choice of subject-matter to make her important point. As we meet the squad's original 13 dancers, some of whom are even in their 80s, each one shows that personal limitations are very much largely in the mind, regardless of how old you are.
