User Reviews

Charming and cute story about kids dancers making it big in a small quiet town.

Feel the Beat (3 out of 5 stars).

Feel the Beat is a cute fair family film. When big shot dancer April (Sofia Carlson) blows an audition that turns bad. She moves back home to a small town where she tries to teach and coach a bunch of young girls dancers. Soon enough, they make go on a competition tour.

The plot is cute and charming. It can be predictable with its story. April lost the big leagues in dancing. And teaches a group of girls that has yet to compete. The girls and April do not easily get along. When the girls are looking up to her. But April is critical. She also runs into her former boyfriend which she ran out on cause she wanted to move to the city. And he stayed in there home town.

The direction and script is cheesy. With cheesy dialgoue. Can be cringing with its direction. But it tries to have a lot of fun.

Sofia Carlson is good with the role. She is fun. Charming. And beautiful.
