West Hall will transform into an eat-in/drink-in movie theatre showing dance related movies, from Fred & Ginger to Strictly Ballroom to West Side Story. Plus, we mix in your favorite cult movies as voted for on our Facebook page. What's even better. all movies are free! Finally there is a way for dance enthusiasts to involve their "non-dancing" friends and family!
View and Chew exists to bring dance into peoples lives in another form, where you can be the voyeur and not have to participate. But maybe, just maybe, it will inspire you to venture across the hall into the Century Ballroom or East Hall and try it for yourself!
In addition to rows of seats up front, we will have tables set up on one end for those who want to come early and have a bite (or eat during the show). We'll offer a special menu and table service from The Tin Table. There will always be previews and shorts prior to the show so come a little early, grab a drink and a bite and settle on in.
Upcoming Movies:
Sunday, February 12 Strictly Ballroom
Scott Hastings is a champion caliber ballroom dancer, but much to the chagrin of the Australian ballroom dance community, Scott believes in dancing "his own steps". Fran is a beginning dancer and a bit of an ugly duckly who has the audacity to ask to be Scott's partner after his unorthodox style causes his regular partner to dance out of his life. Together, these two misfits try to win the Australian Pan Pacific Championships and show the Ballroom Confederation that they are wrong when they say, "there are no new steps!"
Sunday, February 26 The Rocky Horror Picture Show
While driving home during a rain filled night, straight-laced lovebirds Brad and Janet, by chance, end up at the castle of one Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his strange and bizarre entourage, and find that he's having a party. This is no ordinary party, no ordinary night. This is the unveiling of the Dr's latest creation: Rocky; A man-made Adonis that will give...absolute pleasure. This is an exceedingly grand visual and musical camp satire of the golden days of the B-movie horror and science-fiction genres. Projected along with a musical soundtrack to give "audience participation" a new meaning in dimension, time and space, this shall be a night that both Brad and Janet will remember for a very, very long time in the sexually kinky, rock 'n roll (f)rock-opera world of a gender-bending scientist...and his time warped plans.
