O tem filmu

Ruby is a dancer from the Midwest on scholarship, living her first day in New York City. Johnnie is a British musician, playing for money in the subway tunnels. Ruby’s world is classical and disciplined; Johnnie’s is improvisational and street smart. When a hip-hop battle gone wrong throws these two artists together, they immediately clash but can’t deny it when sparks begin to fly. Their lives quickly get entangled in the pitfalls that come with competing in New York City. With the help of a dynamic dance crew called The SwitchSteps, Ruby and Johnnie must find a way to save Ruby’s scholarship and keep Johnnie from being deported.

In an action-packed extravaganza combining cutting edge hip-hop with contemporary and classical dance, the two must navigate their opposing worlds and prepare for a competition where winning or losing will change their lives forever.

Acting was eh, but did not make the movie bad. The ending was phenomenal. . I literally got chills. Completely worth seeing just to see the end!

The saving grace is that the two leads had chemistry to fuel the romance in this movie. The dancing is not that impressive, and the romantic plot is unrealistic. The movie tries to mix classical arts with urban hip hop, and they really don't mesh well.

This movie is free on youtube. Its a good movie, but not the best. Has great violin playing and dances. Appropriate for ages 15 +
