Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A source of mirth and wonder.
This is a real eye-opener for those of us in the 8 to 5 class. It's about as much fun as anything I've seen on video lately and a buddy of mine was so moved by it that he has taken up tap dancing. It's a look into a different society, an existential shock that says, "HELLO, WE'RE AMERICANS TOO!!"
DANCING OUTLAW is really fun, interesting, enlightenting, ... and I sure hope Jesco makes another of these delightful videos.

Everyone should get this movie and get it from Amazon. Quick service and great products.
