Apparently I am now the target audience for transformational dance movies. Into the Beat is the german version of Battle. Here Katya is a ballerina (from a family of ballet dancers) who is coming up on an audition for the NY Ballet Academy. But Katya is not feeling the passion for ballet and is pressed into it by her family legacy. Instead, she discovers hip hop at a local club, finds a boyfriend to teach her, and enters a hip hop competition where she can demonstrate her passion for dance. I will say that the actual hip hop dance here is less angry or aggressive (it felt more like modern interpretive) and therefore less fun. But still pretty good.
3 stars (out of 5)
