Felt like this movie couldn't decide whether it wanted to be fast- or slow-paced. Big developments happen off-screen, but little issues get hashed out at snail speed. I'm exaggerating some for effect, true, but that's how it felt.

I thought the film also had trouble choosing a genre. Not enough of the rehearsal and preparation process was shown to make the film about competitive dance, and neither was enough of any character's personal struggle shown to make it an effective character study. It ended up in "sometimes engaging story with a message" territory, and I didn't think it even did that very well, sadly.
