Into the Beat

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..

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

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.

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??

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.
