Starring: Ryan Guzman, Kathryn McCormick, Peter Gallagher

Do I know these people? Guzman you may recognise from his modelling work; McCormick may be familiar to Americans who watch So You Think You Can Dance, and Gallagher, of course, starred in lots of things including The OC.

So what’s the plot? Sean (Guzman) is a waiter by day who leads a crew called The Mob, staging flash dance mobs (not to be confused with flashdance mobs, which involve more legwarmers) around Miami and putting the resulting videos online in an attempt to win a You Tube competition by getting more views than their rivals (mostly cats). Emily (McCormick) is a would-be professional dancer trying to get into a respected modern dance company. The two meet, they dance, sparks fly!

But when a property developer – who, gasp, also happens to be Emily’s dad – threatens the Mob’s local community, the two team up to try to stop him (and incidentally persuade him to support Emily’s career choice, or something). Cue politicised flash mobs of dancers, who seek to derail a billion-dollar deal with the power of brightly-coloured clothes and athletic jetées, as well as some help from a few returning faces from the franchise’s history. How can our business mogul resist? These kids are using bungee rope as part of their routine, for goodness sake! What’s capitalism next to that?

And the point? Occupy would have gotten further with better choreography.

Viewer's checklist:

'Street' dance meets ballroom or ballet?
Class differences overcome?
Rich kid and poor kid fall in love?
Final dance showcase?

Typical quote: “Enough with performance art; it’s time for protest art” – Sean gets political.
