Scott's father Doug seeing dance as art is a plot point too


** Maybe not that funny. It's not too easy to imagine there'd be a real market for ballroom dancers unless you're a paid instructor, so they'd likely only take it really seriously when they're on the floor. The only ones who treat dancing as an art form are Scott, Fran and Fran's parents

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* TwerpSweating: An unusual variation. After Scott drops Fran off late at night, her [[OverprotectiveDad father]] starts to chase him off. But when Scott tells him he dances, Dad makes him come around back and demonstrate in front of all his buddies and family while they laugh at him. They warm up to him before the night is over.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


*** Pretty much only if you're watching ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' or ''Series/StrictlyComeDancing''...The costumes are extreme even for the period they're a nod to ([[WordOfGod Luhrmann notes]] that the ballroom world shown is a loving but UpToEleven parody of ballroom about ten or twenty years before the film is set.) Now you might see sparkles or if they're feeling really daring, some color, but for most Latin men, black on black rhinestones are about as daring as it gets.
