The first thing I want to say is to watch this movie, don't expect to see a twisted and bizarre plot, it will not have avant-garde revolutionary editing methods, watching this movie is watching dance and listening to music.

The dancing in this movie is much better than the plot. The dance skills and styles of the two protagonists are in place. But Channing's personal style is much more obvious than Jenna's. Personally, I think the protagonist of the movie is actually Channing, and the role of Jenna is used to compare with Channing: Jenna has a background in ballet and modern dance, classical style, very systematic, and each movement has a corresponding name. Channing is completely his own street dance. Hip Hop, which is American folk dance, is of the same nature as folk dances such as Northeast Yangko in northern my country.

Friends who have studied dance know that it is difficult to master the charm of classical ballet and street dance at the same time, because the two styles are very different, and even opposite in some aspects - for example, both classical ballet and modern dance require dancers and the film In fact, the encounter between two people in China is a hint of the impact of the encounter and collision of two dance styles and two personalities on the two people. Having said that, Jenna's modern dance skills are still very good. The modern dance she taught Channing in the film better demonstrated her own academic dance style.

The music in the film also reflects the characteristics of the combination of classical music, Hip-Hop and Rap music. The music scene in which Channing improvises dancing around his friend's car is Black Sheep's The Choice is yours, a must-listen Hip-Hop classic.

    It's beautiful, comfortable, and doesn't require any big reasoning. Just telling you to dream about this thing. You have to persevere.
