“The Horse Dancer” (*1/2 out of four) was a treacly coming-of-age drama about a young gymnast (Sophie Bolen) who finds out she doesn’t make the Olympics team and then goes off for the summer to a horse-back riders camp. When financial cuts threaten to shut the camp down, she then takes it upon herself to use her gymnast talent to start a horse-dancing team to save the camp! If Nicholas Sparks had begun writing kids stories, it might have looked something like this. Strictly for very young girls who might like it but bad writing, directing, and acting and juvenile dramatics make it tough riding for anyone else. Watch “The Horse Whisperer” instead.
