Any movie based on a dance craze is a Cinema Fiasco shoo-in; and, in this instance, when it’s an 80’s dance craze and gets the Mickey-and-Judy-putting-on-a-show treatment, you’ve got an entertainment that’s irresistible. Kelly is a talented street dancer. She may be working as a waitress but she’s on a mission: to prove to the fuddy-duddies that what she and her street-dancing homies do is just as legitimate as classical ballet. All sorts of obstacles stand in her way (a horny dance teacher, a disillusioned colleague, lots of bad 80s clothes) but it all ends happily with an “amazing” dance spectacular that will have you jumping out of your seat – and running for the exit! Typically for a dance movie, there’s a cameo appearance by Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Please note that this session of BREAKIN' will feature a live commentary from Cinema Fiasco hosts Geoff Wallis and Janet A. McLeod. You've been warned!
