Na Batida do Coração

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.

The movie is full of cliches and the characters don't speak much.. But I like the movie and I like the way they dance together.. there is an connection between them and that is why I'm rating it 8 The movie is sweet, light and calm.

First why wouldn't the music match the dancing ? It makes no sense. Second. Are there no talented dancers in Germany ? I've seen better dancers get laughed of the stage on So You Think You Can Dance and America's Got Talent. What a waste of my time.

Alexandra Pfeifer was the only good thing about this movie. Don't consider it as a film about dance or strictly about romance, rather something in between, but failing to deliver both messages. Was expecting great original soundtracks and choreographies. I got bored so many times that I can't even count, and some scenes was making no sense at all, or was so quickly (un)developed..
