Product Description Ghetto street trader and single mother Marcia (Audrey Reid) seeks a way to free herself from lowlifes like Larry, who lusts after Marcia's daughter Tanya, and Priest, a violent street thug. She begins attending the local dance hall by night, becoming the new sensation and entering a competition. If she wins the substantial prize money, she can build a better life for herself and her family. .com A Cinderella story from the mean streets of Kingston, Jamaica, the alternately comic and gritty Dancehall Queen is an intriguingly dark crowd pleaser. Marcia (Audrey Reid) is a single mom and street vendor barely scraping by even with a financial assist from the seemingly avuncular Larry (Carl Davis), a gun-toting strongman with a twisted desire for Marcia's teenage daughter. Complicating things is Priest (Paul Campbell), a murderous hood who killed Marcia's friend and now is terrorizing the defenseless woman. Facing three big problems--Larry, Priest, and a lack of money---Marcia arrives at an inspired solution: develop an alter ego, a dancing celebrity called the Mystery Lady who can compete in a cash-prize contest and pit both of the men against one another. Which is exactly what she does, and it's great fun watching Marcia instigate her complicated plan with a little help from sympathetic friends. Colorful, rowdy, funny, and dangerous, Dancehall Queen is a clever and ceaselessy energetic movie steeped in Kingston street life and the desire to keep body and soul together at home. Reid is a delight as the everyday figure who transforms into an icon in the evenings, and the dance scenes are amazingly bawdy. --Tom Keogh

Dance Hall Queen
What more can be said....this an exciting and entertaining look at a cultural phenomenon. It's got drama, comedy, dancing and a great soundtrack. We all love a story about a girl next door that breaks out of her familiar to improve life for her home and kids. We first saw this film on COMCAST ON DEMAND. And couldn't wait for it to come again as they play it Jan/Feb ever year. We bought it from Amazon recently and watch it at weekly. To the creators, writers, directors, musicians and most certainly the actors... thank you for an experience and entertainment we cherish and love!!

Not a likkle but MASSIVE FUN
This movie was so much fun. It contained several themes like the loss of innocence, the psychological effects from bullying, and the escape from oppressive spritis. What was must amusing to me was watching the main character transform herself from a struggling street vendor to a queen to better herself and her children's lives, momentarily. The music is great, the cameos by reggae artists are great, and the evil character with the red top... oh I just wanted to mash 'em.

Modern Jamaican Cinderella story!
I love Dancehall Queen! I lost my first copy (VHS) so I replaced it with a new copy in DVD. I never get tired of watching this movie and I consider it a Jamaican movie classic right up there with Harder They Come, Rockers and Smile Orange. It is a nice twist on the traditional rags-to-riches story. Although her character's morals are somewhat questionable (she practically "sells" her daughter to a high-paying local don), you can't help but root for the protagonist Marcia!

Dancehall Queen
Dancehall Queen was excellent. I got a kick out of Audrey Reid learning how to do the Jamaican dances at her age. The dance scenes were out of this world. It was nice to look into the Jamaican dance hall world.The story line was absolute genius.A must see
