Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This, the latest variation on the "follow your dream" dance fantasy, draws an ever sharper line between tip-top street dance and bottom-of-the-class dialogue and acting.
Rick Malambri stars as a wannabe NY film-maker whose vast loft-cum-nightclub is going bankrupt, obliging him to train up his dance troupe for the $100,000 World Jam competition and so block a bid by his rival. $100,000?!
The dance-offs are so frenetic, you can't make out who would win, but at least when they're dancing they aren't talking. I enjoyed the robotic jive in which the participants make choppy movements in the style of automatons – it looks as though they've been wound up and set in motion. Unfortunately, their acting looks like that, too.
