Los Angeles Times

For the most part "Shake the Dust" is a passably engaging ode to joy, the kind that feels special because it's hard-earned and communal, and it displaces adversity, however briefly.

Leor Galil

Chicago Reader

About a third of the movie is over before he gets past the dancing footage and vague references to social turmoil in each country, though the dancers he interviews compensate for the jarring shifts in location and the general lack of narrative flow.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

I enjoyed the music and dance in Shake the Dust, but it's rarely as insightful or as instructive as it could've been.
