I'm not sure I entirely agree with your broader point, though. There are movies with great dancing which otherwise aren't very good, at least in my opinion.

Looking at his resume, I don't know if she's actually seen any Hugh Jackman movies, apart from his voice work in Happy Feet and Flushed Away. In fact, I've only seen Kate & Leopold.
