In Competitive Ballroom Dancing, dance coaches have always been allowed to have a place on the judging panel. In Ice Dancing, or Skating, Competitions, you are either a coach, or a judge, but never both.  Does classifying dance as an art or a sport have any impact on whether amendments should be made to this rule?

MAD HOT BALLROOM is an inspiring look inside the lives of New York City school kids on a journey into the world of ballroom and latin dancing -- a new and unexpected arena where they discover home truths about attitude, movement, style and commitment. Told from the candid, sometimes hilarious perspective of the boys and girls themselves, the picture chronicles their transformation from typical urban kids to "ladies and gentlemen," as their school teams aim towards a final citywide competition. The dance program was created by Pierre Dulaine who was interviewed for DanceScape eZine.
