Director: Aurora Gossé
Everything changes for 12-year-old Mina when it-boy hip-hop dancer E.D.Win moves to town and wants to start a dance crew. Suddenly, top grades, her best bud, and even her glasses are cast aside as Mina pushes herself to master the steps and get the boy. With her fabulous and fearless grandmother as cheer squad and instructor, Mina gets what she thinks is a real shot at dancing glory. But at what cost? A wonderfully joyous film about losing yourself to the rhythm, what it costs to be cool, and what you gain when you leave it all on the floor.
