More about the choreography than the storyline
pcourt-0580011 October 2023
The summary statement would be that this is a sweet movie without dramatic dialogue, and is more about the choreography than the story line.

The dialogue is pretty unnatural, and two of the characters collaborate with and film an under age minor without parental consent and uploading to the net, which irritates the teacher within me.

There is nothing particularly dramatic in the story line, in this way, making the storyline more realistic and less hollywood like. One feels like they are sitting in on a ballet class for much of the movie, and ballet students muck around dancing in their spare time. The story line is common to many dance situations, with the tiger ballet mum who has her eyes set on the royal ballet school, and a daughter, who is not royal ballet school material, trying to follow in those footsteps storyline.

Aside from this, if you want a movie that reminds one of their childhood dancing days, and has some fun choreography, then it is a enjoyable watch.

Interestingly, pretty sure the other reviewer didn't watch the film, as the romance is not between the characters she mentioned, and the romance is a side dialogue that barely gets developed, except that you are aware that those two characters like each other.

I am tired of these stereotyped stories
MovieIQTest21 December 2021
Always some young ballet dancers who were frustrated by their failures and losses being great or something else in their lives. Usually, they were female dancers, white. Then after a certain self-rejected period, they were rescued, salvaged, helped, assisted or whatever else you could put together, by someone completely unexpected, and again, typically, that person was a male, and more and more often, that person was a street hip-hop dancer, and most frequently, he's a black young man. Then this white young female who was used to love ballet, suddenly or gradually turned 180 degrees fell in love with the street dancing, and also very predictably, she'd fall that black young man. As expected, they fell in love, hence began a tumultuous interracial romance. Blah, blah, and blah, it's so stereotyped like what we are seeing from those extremely racial balanced commercials, there must be white, black and Asians, numbers of these people also have to be balanced. This movie is no exception, and I'm so tired of seeing these crap again and again.
