High Strung Free Dance

This follow-up to 2016's "High Strung" has its visual dazzle and performance highs but the story and characters are just too fake, chaste and grit-free to take seriously.

The glossy fakeness is a signal to the audience that every single thing about these stories will stand in abject defiance of reality, and it's best just to accept them at face value.

Bland even by this genre's low standards.

'High Strung Free Dance' simply bowled me over. It's a must-see movie for all dance fans! Think 'A Chorus Line' meets '42nd Street.'

Sensational music/dance numbers rise above so-so romance.
