Dance fusion brought to a new level

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2006)

Wearing the hat of a dance enthusiast, I find the fusion of freestyle street dance and traditional ballet moves spectacular and refreshing. I'm inspired already to get out there and jiggle! Fresh-faced Channing Tatum was fantastic in his dance routines though I feel he's not quite ready to play a bad boy.
Story wise, it's rather predictable and stereotyped. Downtown bad boy meets uptown good girl, both fall in love, and both have the dance of their life in the finale. Jenna Dewan was unconvincing in her role. She was saved by Channing who stole the show. The sidekicks failed to shine either. At times, they were redundant and annoying.
Still, go and watch it just for dance sake!
