      I still love harmony

      Modern dance itself represents a contradiction between modernity and tradition.
      In the movie, modern dance represents a kind of rigidity and rigidity relative to hip-hop.. conformity.
      It is indeed another new contradiction between modernity and tradition.

      Some people experience emotional restlessness..
      and lose the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness of the youthful body that should exist.
      A burning heart becomes anger from extremes.
      Some people have experienced...

      Very exciting movie~~

      This movie is great! It's amazing to have so many super talented actors!

      After reading it, I suddenly have a very international idea, just a little idea.

      It seems that there is no need to worry too much about cultural unity, as long as human beings do not lose their creativity. Although China is now full of the same Uniqlo, the same Starbucks, the same Carrefour... In fact, it is only the current China. In the process of development, China hopes to learn more from the West,...

      "Dance" out "Highlights" -- "Dance Out of My Life 2" film review

      The dynamic and passionate dance, the intricate contradictions between teachers and students, families and individuals in street dance halls and ballet schools, constitute the background of this film. Through a series of efforts, the young people finally changed the cruel reality and successfully promoted the great idea of ​​freedom and striving. Andy, who lost his mother, could not feel support at Sarah's house (mother's friend), and gradually merged with this seemingly free but proud group....

      GREAT DANCE AND DANCER

      I watched this STEP UP 2 THE STREETS first, it was very enjoyable~~ Song and dance film of the new era! In order to make my writing not look too OUT, I deliberately watched STEP UP together, and also watched the domestic super bad movie essence DANCING FILM (too bad, too lazy to talk about it).
      2 is the best DANCING FILM I've ever seen.
      1 is more plot-oriented and tries hard to blend hip-hop and traditional ballet to make it look like an alternative art , it has indeed gradually...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Dancer Jabba Wockeez, who achieved excellent results in the "Best Dance Company in America" ​​competition held on MTV, played a small role in the film. He still wore the iconic white mask when he appeared on stage.
    Compared with the first film, the director and the protagonists have all changed classes. The only thing that has not changed is that the location of the story is still the Maryland School of Art.
    "Dancing Out of My Life"...

    Positive review

    All the dances in this film are street dance. With the accompaniment of hip-hop, R&B, and Rap dynamic music, the actors perform various cool dance moves. The film uses a lot of space to show the different types of hip-hop skills, and many difficult moves are so enjoyable. Especially the dance in the rain at the end of the film is very contagious and will definitely make the audience see it with enthusiasm. (Netease Review   )
    Although...

    Negative review

    The film did not grasp the inspirational theme, another film essence of the first episode. It has almost become Jon M. Chu’s main job to build a street dance show. It is difficult for the audience to experience the protagonist’s pursuit and dreams of the protagonist’s true interpretation of the first episode. "The most important thing is not how much you have, but how to play" the theme of hip-hop, which is quite blunt and abrupt....

    Movie quotes

    • Moose: ...and then I was like, "Damn, your breath stinks, girl!"

      [Andie laughs]

      Andie: Why would you ever say that to her?

      Moose: Cause I thought it would be cool.

      Andie: Well, it wasn't!

    • Moose: Yeah, we're her crew! We're getting ready to battle at the streets.

      Felicia: What street? Sesame Street?

    • Moose: [after tasting tofu dog, sings:] Tastes like candy canes - at Christmas.
