Editorial Reviews

Set in the competitive LA dance scene, Zoe, a struggling young dancer gets the opportunity to fulfill her professional dreams when she convinces Michael, a wealthy club owner, to open a modern disco where young people come to connect through dance. The club features classic disco hits updated with a modern sound - and modern dance moves. In the process, Zoe’s personal and professional lives collide and she finds herself caught between Michael, her dancer boyfriend Chris, and Malika, the sexy, overly ambitious choreographer she might be about to replace.

3.0 out of 5 stars disco still rules, May 7, 2010

I saw this movie when it aired on MTV, and my recommendation is to catch it there. It's not horrible by any means, but to me (as a dancer) the dance sequences were too few, too short, and too choppily-edited to make up for some of the storytelling and acting flaws in the picture.

We expect a certain story arc in a dance movie, same as in a sports movie, but one thing I have little patience with is the idea that a complete unknown could or would be hired to produce a big event (see "Honey" for a very similar story). Just not going to happen, folks. I don't care how cute she is. Someone with money on the line is going to hire a producer and choreographer with an actual resume.

Personally, my favorite scene was when the dancer's mom walked out on her bossy, judgy husband to go and see the show.

I bought a good movie at a great prize. I would have missed this movie all together , if I was not looking at step up 3d.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dancing is good - movie is not, May 2, 2010

The dancing in this movie is fun to watch. However, as a movie, the storytelling is incoherent, the plot is trite, and the characters are flat. There were multiple points during the movie where the it seemed to skip forward or backward in time without any kind of reference point, leaving me as a viewer lost and confused. If you're not a huge fan of dancing, skip this movie.
