Into the Beat

Predictable story line and some clique moments here and there... but the chemistry between the two leads was way more believable than most other dance movies I've seen. Overall some really great acting and very skilled dancers.

I think part of the reason I liked the movie so much was because I watched it in Spanish and the translation was fantastic! Way better than the English in my opinion. (I'm bilingual so I pick the best one)

Full of cliches but don't over think it and it's very enjoyable. Katya played by Alexandra Pfiefer is adorable and so enchanting.

Nothing new in this movie that we have not seen before.

Story is predictable and the dancing is mediocre, especially the ballet scenes make it hard to believe that this girl was supposed to pursue a career as a professional ballet dancer.

What is troubling is the same racist cliché that we have seen before: Black hip hop dancer that is coming from a troubling family background and lives in an orphanage. Come on, why do we always need to put black people in these same roles?

To sum it up: A German version of "Save the last dance" that you can easily skip.

Positive:

• great main actors
• many fresh and varied dance performances
• good vibes, but also touching moments

Negative:

• often seen film idea without great surprises
• overly educational.

A lot of good dancing in this movie but in my opinion Alien was not that great of a dancer.
