A good Hip-Hop dance movie

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2017)

After the death of her mother and some failed auditions to Julliard, a talented young girl is forced to move to her father's. There, she find a new dance style (besides the ballet) in the name of Hip-Hop, which she doesn't know anything about. With the help of some new friends, she begins to learn the new art, but not everyone is as friendly as they appear so new problems begin to find their way into her life. Together with her new boyfriend, she'll have to find a way to overcome her fears and trauma from the past, thus being able to follow her dream.
It's an interesting movie which features a big change in a girl's life and what she must do to cope with every-day problems. It's enjoyable and entertaining through its hip-hop beats and dancing but let's you down when it comes to story. The characters, although pretty well described, have the tendency to take radical decisions out of a sudden, without any logic or meaning, just to affect the course of events and generate a bit more drama. The plot is simplistic and predictable, doing nothing to impress or at least raise the bar a bit.
It's a good movie overall, especially if you enjoy music and dancing, like I do, otherwise it would be a mediocre movie which can be easily skipped.
