The dance routines are great - of course. This is a dance movie, after all. The ballet and street dance are given equal treatment in terms of respect and quality. The overt messages are all good, if a bit unoriginal: "Don't chase success, make success", "Never give up on your dreams", "Loyalty comes before personal gain", and "Respect differences". This last, however, comes with an interesting, unspoken lesson. All through the film, we see how street dance is more "accepting" than ballet. In ballet, you must move in set ways, be of a certain age and body-type, and follow the traditions. In street dance, everyone is welcome, and pretty much anything goes. This is said, both in the dialogue and in the characters' actions. So, ballet-dancers are snobs, and street dancers are cool, right?Except, when Breaking Point begin their competition performance, they open with classical music. The entire crowd starts to boo, without even waiting for the dance to begin. The booing and jeering doesn't stop until the music changes to something that they approve. This is the "cool", "anything goes" street dance scene, but they are just as prejudiced as anyone else.A balanced message, and all the better for being unacknowledged in the film. No scene is perfect, but within any and every genre you will find tolerant, open-minded and friendly individuals.

I always love musical movies, but what I never realized before is that there is one other category that I may love it as well as musical movies, it is dance movies! "StreetDance" is a perfect example of today's dance movie. The story just seems to be another repetition from other similar movies. It's all about rebellion against establishment of formal institutions and it's also about how to express yourself. It's the whole elements that have been occurring since "Footloose" (1984) to the modern breathtaking flick like "Step Up 2: The Streets" (2008), in which I think that it is still the best presentation of our time. The modern dance movie is also always about traditional art-school dancer Vs. freestyle street dancer, where on thiz movie is street dancers vs. ballet dancers. It is about Carly (Nichola Burley) and her dance crew which later named "Breaking Point". They have to mix together with several ballet dancers from The Royal Dance School in exchange for rehearsal place. Nichola Burley can deliver her character smooth enough to take us into energizing mood with her unique British accent and some enthralling dancing moves as well. Thiz movie really put Burley into the spotlight since last time I saw her in psychological thriller "Donkey Punch" in 2008. Other Cast members are Charlotte Rampling, Richard Winsor and real life professional dancer like George Sampson. Thiz movie is also featuring "Britain's Got Talent" stars, Diversity and Flawless. It is very exciting to observe how the recent street dance style has evolved outside of dance studios. The movie is surprisingly directed by first time Directors, Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini. It is delightful and enjoyable movie. It's filled with fascinating choreography and heart-throbbing hip hop music. The pop group N-Dubz said, "We Dance On".Visit My Blog on JONNY'S MOVEE : http://jonnyfendi.blogspot.com

This movie is a big waste of time , the story is looks like Step Up , a Street Dance Crew training in ballet school and some ballet dancers join the crew , the only new thing here is Ballet Dance . I have some notes you might find it useful :1- I think Street Dance must be on Hip Hop music but I don't know what the director was thinking by making them dance on this music , awful .2- You can't compare this with Step Up , the dance is not good , and the story is not good as Step Up .3- The Romance in this movie is really disappointing .I think they was trying to create something new , by mixing Ballet Dance with Street Dance , but I think they fail .

Oh. A dance movie - modern wiggly leaping about dancing to a soundtrack of rap, hip hop and bangbox music, with a story about streetdancers forced to join forces with a class of ballet dancers.Let's get something straight - I'm not a fan of dancing, neither ballet nor street, and I'm fat and 57 - I don't do dancing (which may be one of the reasons I don't care for it). Also I don't care for music falling into those styles. So why did I go and see it? Because it's in 3D, and I'm a sucker for 3D.But d'you know, I really enjoyed it. There's nothing in it plot-wise which you haven't seen in a hundred other movies, but that didn't matter - it's a feelgood story about underdogs learning to work together and coming out on top.Some of the acting is a bit ropy, but it has two things working strongly for it. One is Nichola Burley. Her acting slips from time to time, but she conveys tough vulnerability well, and she is both cute and hot at the same time. And the other is the dancing. It still isn't my thing, but by heck, it's impressive. And the final sequence is well done.Oh, and the 3D isn't bad either.
