In addition to those already listed,
True Lies (Tango scenes)
Scent of A Woman (ditto)
Mona Lisa Smile
Marilyn Hotchiss Ballroom & Charm School (I think that's the title)
Dance of A Dream (Andy Lau)
That's The Way I Like It (from Taiwan, send up of Saturday Night Fever has a few dance sequences)
Any movie Fred Astair ever made. Especially the story of Vernon and Irene Castle. Also "Swing Time" where Ginger Rogers plays a ballroom instructor.

Well the movie Dirty Dancing has some ballroom type stuff going on. A hip 60s version of ballroom dancing i suppose. Thats all i can think of.

"Strictly Ballroom" - Directed by Baz Luhrmann (who also directed Romeo & Juliet, and Moulin Rouge)
"Step Up" - about the ballroom program in schools
"Shall We Dance" - original Japanese version, in many ways better than the American remake.
"Dirty Dancing" - Features Samba as "Dirty Dancing" - I reckon Salsa is rather hotter, myself... :)
"Take The Lead" - great, recently made movie about the US ballroom in schools program, and its original founder.
"Mad Hot Ballroom" - another one about the US ballroom in schools program, this one at primary level, and in a documentary style (unlike Step Up or Take The Lead, which are both cinematic, and focus on High School dancing, allowing them to introduce elements of sexual tension and violence that wouldn't be possible with primary-age subjects.)
I've seen all of these and own most of the DVDs... :) I reckon the Japanese version of "Shall We Dance" is the best out of all of them, but it's very difficult to find.

Mad Hot Ballroom and Take the Lead...both movies are about a program created in NYC by Pierre Dulain

People named a lot already. I wanted to point out that Japanese version of Shall We Dance is good, but it is not the original. Original is much much older, it has Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in it. So there are 3 versions of Shall We Dance: old American (I'm going to see it tomorrow, yay!), Japanese (pretty good) and new American (pretty bad).
There is Korean movie Innocent Steps that has Chacha and Rumba but it it falls in the category of "stupidest flicks on the planet".

grimy Dancing Saturday night Fever Any action picture with Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire I surprisingly advise "it is Dancing". you are able to probable discover it on video. it rather is a montage of lots of the super dance moments from action picture.
