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..

As far as predictable movies go ... well this is up there! No pun intended, but you can see where this is going. Actually you don't even need to see, you just know (also the music works - even if you have your eyes closed). Still there is an energy and a passion and a love for music and dancing here, that is hard to escape. Unless you are a cynic ... actually I am one ... sometimes, so I totally understand if this is too sugarcoated for your taste.

All that aside the rhythm and structure of the movie move along fine - and yes things are way too easy at certain points and the tough love aspect the male mentor is showing our female love interest ... actually his love interest, might feel wrong to some ... but hey we are all different aren't we? So suspend your disbelief if you can and just dance... express yourself any way you can, doesn't have to be professional. Go on ... enjoy.

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.

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.

Great cinematography and good actress, but it felt fake and predictable on some points. A phew scenes were better than the others, I enjoyed the last dance, the metro part and the camera movements. I'm sad because I felt the potential of this film, but lacked a better and more original scenario and a real connection between characters. Congratulation to the team for all the work.

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

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.

This is a cute film that almost feels like a modern day (foreign) version of Save the Last Dance (2001).

If you watch it for what it is, what it gives you - a love and appreciation for dancing you will find that's it's heartfelt. The cinematography is great, and the actors are solid even for them not being well-known. There's passion, ambition, rebellion, attitude, and love all felt throughout the film, and I support all of it.

You will too.

Seriously another movie with ungrateful parents, they think that their children should do whatever they want even if they will be sad for the rest of their lifes , and they don't even care about it, the rest of the movie was boring , she just dance , soo??

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)

It's the usual story about a trained dancer wanting to do a less disciplined type of dance but it's done well and the acting and directing is good. Music is okay but is often too loud compared to the dialogue which usually begs the question why. If what is on the screen is so entertaining then why distract with loud music? If film makers want to really make a different dance film then why not flip the story and turn a hip hop dancer into a ballet dancer or is that just too unbelievable?

I have never seen such a disrespectful female lead. She's selfish, entitled, and rash. Doesn't think things through and lets her emotions get the better of her. Can't get her priorities straight and is painfully indecisive to the verge of hurting important people in her life. She doesn't know how to apologize either. Literally so many setbacks would've been avoided with the right dose of responsibility and communication. She doesn't deserve the people around her.

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

As cute as the others on the subject, here a little more dramatic due to the loss of his mother, and almost his father, he swore that he had died in that initial scene, a delicious soundtrack, very cute, cliché and passionate...

It's a cliché, no doubt, but I watch films like this one because of all the dancing, and I liked it. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece of a story, full of mystery and excitement, I was expecting exactly what I got and that's enough for me. I also loved it was German, I don't usually watch many German films and this one had nice dance scenes. It's valid entertainment.

Awesome choreography on the dance scenes but a small let down on the most predictable scenarios. Dance scenes are done great with excellent cinematography.

Great movie, good message too the world. Follow your dream. Thats the message of this movie.

Normally I hate movies about dancing.

But this one is good! Great acting, good story, skilled dancers.

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.
