Movie Summary[]
Premise[]
Battle of the Year attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven't won in fifteen years. Dante enlists Blake to assemble a team of the best dancers and bring the Trophy back to America where it started.
Story[]
Dante Graham is a hip-hop mogul, but he was a breaker; now he wants nothing more than to see an American team win the Battle of the Year, an international b-boy tournament. Dante picks former dancer Jason Blake, a boozy, widowed basketball coach, to select, then train a worthy team. With just three months to whip a crew of 13 headstrong guys into a cohesive unit, Blake, his assistant and a choreographer have a daunting job ahead of them.

Stuart:
Yeah, blues magicians are the weirdest ones 'cause they're really sad when they're doing it.
Dan:
(laughing) yep.
Stuart:
They'll pull out — instead of pulling a rabbit out of the hat, they'll pull out like a picture frame of their ex wife or something. Yeah, b-blues magicians.
Hallie:
Wait did you say — ? I was confused — I was imagining blues magicians b-boy —
Stuart:
— Sometimes Dan just says completely weird words, Hallie. The trick is you gotta latch onto 'em and make fun of him.
Hallie:
I want to meet the renaissance man that's —
Stuart:
— B-Boy, Magician and Blues Musician. It's a real — what they call in the business a triple threat.
Hallie:
