About In the New York City underground, gangs get together to compete in illegal dance contests. Two rival gangs go head-to-head with superhuman powers. When one of the leaders falls in love with the sister of his rival, tragedy beckons

My 5 cents Just by reading the stock page, I couldn't think but it sounding like You Got Served, and my spidey sense's were correct as this is from the director of You Got Served who has brought Marques Houston back with him. With recent success from similar teen dance flicks with Step up 2 the streets and How she move, $3 seems a steal. The cast are also familiar faces to the MTV generation, target market. Expect more hipper and dope dance moves to work hand in hand with another lame cheesy story.

Recommendation BUY, distributor Vivendi is a concern, but a possible summer release date makes it attractive.
