DANCE BATTLES!

[christopher575]

MTV is always playing on one of the TVs at my gym, and I've seen a show that I would actually watch at home if I had cable, America's Best Dance Crew. I've always really liked dancing, and watching people who are really good at it compete in groups is always really enjoyable.

And this made me remember something I've been meaning to post about for a while, which is my love for movies which have dance battles in them. These movies pretty much get an automatic A+ in my book. My favorites:

Once Bitten (video)
White Chicks (video)
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Bring It On (cheering, still counts in my book)

I'd like to find more movies with dance battles in them. Any suggestions? imdb doesn't list "dance battle" as a searchable keyword yet.

I love that bit in White Chicks.

Rize
You Got Served

I know there was another recent one, but I can't think of it.

"Beat It" is the go-to in this situation.
"Dodgeball" also, kinda, has a dance battle, if you count "Bring it On."

Just off the top of my head, movies you might enjoy:

Stomp the Yard
Step Up
Step Up 2: The Streets
You Got Served

I can't think of any others right now, and I know I'm missing one or two that I've watched. Dang.

Oh, don't waste your time with How She Move. It's just bad. Not even in a good way.

I can't remember if Breakin' and Breakin' 2 do. Salsa?

Beat Street might too, but even if it doesn't, it has Rae Dawn Chong and her hair.

You Got Served?
