Entertainment Reviews:
With its acrobatic zest, swing dancing was a perfect expression of defiant resilience during the Great Depression. For contemporary enthusiasts, it’s an antidote to the emotional disconnect of the so-called connected age.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: B+ --
This is a very life-affirming movie with joyous dance performances with a lot of amazing acrobatic moves. It is not only a lot of fun to watch, but a good antidote for these dark, depressing times in the world.

Glatzer captures the love and support of an intergenerational community, one in which nonagenarians cut the rug alongside up-and-comers.

Full of life, this swinging doc shows the fervor attending a throwback to the 1920s, dancers who enthusiastically go back in time to give new spirit to the Lindy Hop.

After the credits roll at the end and the lights come up, you will be overcome by the feverish need to head to the nearest dance floor with a kicking and swinging band.

Though its cinematography is nothing to write home about, the action Alive and Kicking captures is so transfixing, one marvels that dancers can keep it up for five years, much less five decades.
