Step Up Revolution (2012), 6+

PG-13 | 1h 39min | Drama, Music, Romance | 27 July 2012
Emily arrives in Miami with aspirations to become a professional dancer. She sparks with Sean, the leader of a dance crew whose neighborhood is threatened by Emily's father's development plans.
Director: Scott Speer
Stars: Kathryn McCormick, Ryan Guzman, Cleopatra Coleman, Peter Gallagher.
Chuck Maldonado ... choreographer
Christopher Scott ... choreographer
Jamal Sims ... choreographer
Travis Wall ... choreographer


~47 songs in the Soundtracks. The only performance of music was dance.

KM has something different in the way she moves, perhaps because all the choreographers were male. By different, I don't necessarily mean better.

Lots of dance and all of it interesting and fun to watch. The storyline was ok, but not the reason to view this. As such, I can't elevate this to 7 (recommended), but the dancing is good enough that it's close.

DVD was "Movie Only", so I returned it to get the special features I was expecting.
Update: one of the nice features is the Mob Index, where you can play all 6 mob dance scenes in sequence.

Rated 6.5 (50,791)

Summit & more, dir. Speer; 6+
