He learns that Nick and his partner Kaz had a falling out when a rich guy, Micheal, convinced Kaz that he doesn't need Nick. Nick told Kaz that he's just using him to get to Kaz's sister, Aya who is also a performer who is hoping an agent will take her as a client because she could be sent back to Japan where she is from.

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!! 

The movie started off with Donny in New Orleans dancing in the streets to make some money along with a friend. Only to be stop by his parole officer, telling him to get a job. After his friend showing him a video of a club in New York called Statics being popular, he decided to go back to New York, to be a dancer at Statics because his brother owns the club, but running away form by on parole for 6 months. 

Nick, Donny's brother, crash into Aya, Kaz's sister studio telling her to not step into his territory stopping Cobu's dance rehearsal and taking their drums from them. After Kaz found out, he went over to Aya's place to get her the rent money to pay the bill and also talk to Aya about letting Micheal support them. At the same time Donny meet up with Nick and they head back to the Statics where Nick lives. 

Later that night, Aya and her group, Cobu enter Statics club to get their drums back and also do a performance. At the same time, Donny started noticing Aya too. Once Aya step onto the bar, Donny follow up and dance with her with cans tape to his shoe doing some tap dancing. Kaz enter the building and Nick also notice Kaz too. They got into a fight and things started changing for the club Statics. At the same time Donny and Aya have been contacting each other for the next few days. 

Donny finally convinced his brother Nick to let him dance on stage. Donny also convince Aya to come watch the performance and something special happen that night with Donny and Aya. That night, Kaz's club also experience something bad that led Micheal to not let Kaz work there anymore. Which also lead to Micheal shutting down Statics and threatening Aya to work for him and also finding out about Donny parole that he haven't finish yet. 

Donny then enter the building he slept in the first night he came to town after dancing with Aya. A big brilliant idea came into his mind and open a new dance bar allowing everyone to come with free drinks and at the same time it was for Aya and her group, Cobu because the lady who want to support them wanted them to see them live before she could sponsor them. 

Of course, everyone show up from strangers, Aya, Kaz, Nick, and even Micheal. Aya and Donny but on a performance with Cobu and at the end, Nick and Kaz made up. Kaz stop working with Micheal, and Micheal have a new partner whom Kaz sold his shares too. 

Aya and her group Cobu got sponsor along with Donny, but Donny have to return to New Orleans to finish his parole.

Review: 

This was something I wanted to watch since I knew that BoA and Derek Hough was making a movie together and since it was also about dancing. I mean BoA, KWON BOA, was going to be in the movie along with Derek Hough, Dancing With The Star winner [3 times I believe]. This was something crazy and cool, not so believable too. Also the teaser and the OST songs for this movie make me wanted to watch this a lot. I mean from Girls' Generation, F(x), and TVXQ singing some of the OST song was, I mean amazing as a KPOP Fan. 

The movie itself started off okay, it wasn't so bad nor good at all. What I happen to really like was the Korean songs that was feature in the movie as background music in the clubs or for dance teams to dance too. I happen to remember that Super Junior M's Henry - Trap was put on. I also believe F(x) Electric Shock was on along with the OST from Girls' Generation and TVXQ. 

It was majority tap dancing with a little of ballroom dancing. I wish to see more dancing from BoA and more KPOP-like style of dances too. The awesome thing was the (SPOILER) TVXQ Yunho appear in the movie dancing. 

There was many things that could have of made it better but I happen to really like the movie as of how it is. 

Rate: 8.5/10
