Since Finn’s been born (and also before, truth to tell), I’ve been very easily moved to tears.
Sometimes a news item will see me crying, especially if kids are involved somehow. But most of my tears are shed over movies.
This week, the great documentary Mad Hot Ballroom did it for me.
It traces the progress of three sets of 11-year-olds from different New York public schools as they learn ballroom dancing and then compete in a city-wide dance off.
It’s thought-provoking, funny and ridiculously cute, and there are enough ‘aaahhhh’ moments to see me crying.
Worth a look (and you probably won’t cry).
