Name that short film about salsa/tango/ballroom dancing!

This is a long shot but... I'm trying to find a short documentary from the 90s (maybe earlier) about how salsa dancing (possibly tango, possibly even just generic ballroom dancing) changed the lives of an oddball group of characters.

Here's what I remember:

- It must have shown on cable back in the 90s (HBO? Showtime? Bravo?)
- It could be black & white
- All of the characters were "damaged" in some way (former drug addict, illness, accident, etc.) and found salvation through dance
- One character was a "goth girl"
- Another might have been elderly
- The visual style was very formal (straight on angle, wide shots, symmetric)
- There wasn't any/much dancing per se

Basically, it's a talking head documentary, but each character talks about how dance completely changed their lives.

Would anyone remember what the heck I'm talking about??

It's probably too obvious but just checking... Strictly Ballroom?

Probably not Mad Hot Ballroom?

Response by poster: Thanks folks... but as you probably know, it's none of these. This is a short film, made before 2000 (probably). I did check all "dance" short films on IMDB, and couldn't find it there either... It either was not categorized as such, or... somehow it no longer exists. 😟
