WHO WILL DIG IT?
Billed as the place “where kids rule,” it would stand to reason that kids are who it’s for. But don’t rule out “You Got Served” (2004) fans or anyone who likes their dancing served up with a healthy dose of us-against-the-world angst.
THREE GOOD REASONS
- 1The creative team behind the hit “You Got Served” delivers more high-stakes dance battles, albeit with shorter dancers.
- 2This film brings to light the emerging youth battle dance culture of Long Beach, California.
- 3Just in case your dance moves are getting a little stale, now's your chance to update them.
