Reviewer: Jodie Clist
The Premise>> When top street dancer Ash (Falk Hentschel) is humiliated and laughed off stage by American crew Invincible, he sets off to gather the best dancers from around the world to take them on – with a dance style they weren’t expecting. With landmark locations, a spectacular fusion of dance styles and an unparalleled vibrancy, the sequel to StreetDance sees our hero fall in love with a beautiful salsa dancer as he discovers the magic, power and passion of dancing for the ultimate global dance off.
The Review>> In its purest form, this is a dance movie; therefore, I’m not going to say anything much about the plot, the acting or the characters. After all, these things were, to me, really quite secondary to the phenomenal dancing that steals almost every scene in this movie.
The mix of street hip hop and Latin/Salsa literally sizzles off the screen and the kick-ass sound track drives relentlessly in the background to get your feet itching to move to the beat.
These dancers really are incredibly talented and even more vivid and intense in 3D!
The Verdict>> Looking for a raw and funky dance extravaganza, an awesome sound track, and some passionate Latin sizzle, look no further.
