MOVIE REVIEW
In inner city London, a street dance crew is on the verge of breaking up after its leader, Jay, leaves the group unexpectedly. The group loses the use of their rehearsal space, forcing them to try and raise money or practice in other locations. Eventually they secure a space in a ballet school, on the condition that they include five ballet dancers in their routine. At first, they struggle to get along, but they all become friends in the end.
One of the teachers at the ballet school, Helena, takes Carly to a ballet where she starts getting ideas for their routine. When she arrives home, Carly finds Jay waiting for her and the two spend the night together. During a dance battle in a club the next night, the team learn that Jay has betrayed the team by joining The Surge, a rival crew. Jay brags about his sex with Carly and Thomas, a ballet dancer, punches Jay out of anger. Jay is furious and swears revenge. Carly, upset over the betrayal, leaves the club and is nearly hit by a car before Thomas pulls her out of the way. Thomas then takes Carly back to his apartment where they dance on the roof, eventually kissing.
The next day at the school, Carly announces the new name of their dance crew: Breaking Point. Another teacher at the school, outraged that her students are being corrupted, deliberately plans a Royal Ballet audition for the same day as the street dance finals. The Ballet dancers promise Carly they will make it but the auditions were running overtime.
In an attempt to give Breaking Point more time to wait for the ballet dancers, Carly's friend Eddie (George Sampson) goes out onto the dance floor and starts dancing, surprising the crew. The ballet team turn up at the final anyway, and their teacher Helena drives the judges to the final so they can see the dancers perform. However just before they go on Jay corners Thomas and offers him a choice: Either he does the competition and Jay'll sue or Thomas leaves Carly's crew and Jay'll leave him alone. Thomas panics but is pushed on by Carly. The routine is a success, Carly and Thomas kiss after the performance, and the crowd is enthralled. Jay is furious that the Surge have been beaten and he's lost Carly. So he corners Thomas afterwards and picks a fight with him. Carly walks in on it and a fight ensues. Jay is knocked out by Thomas and he and Carly kiss.
The film ends with Breaking Point and Surge dancing to N-Dubz' "We Dance On".
