Let's Dance

Hi, dad.

I won't be at work today.

Or in the next few days, actually.

I made my decision, I'm gone.

Without a goodbye, so you won't stop me.

We have a big audition lined up in Paris.

It will open doors to us.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

I'm leaving to fulfill my dream.

Wake up.

No, we're moving up here. We only decided yesterday.

Sure, three of us will fit on your couch.

What's wrong?

Her brother says his whole place is 15 sq. meters.

Whoa, that sucks!

Paris is so expensive, one sq. meter counts for seven.

It's like dog years. Until the competition, we need a job.

I promise.

Stop talking to me like a dog. See you.

Paris!

Done.

I think he got it.

Ready to dance, guys?

So, where's Youri?

I told you he'd blow us off. The guy's a star.

He told us to come. He wants young talent.

- Young talent crushing it. Like us. - Yeah, right.

Take a seat, I'll go find him. Hold on, forgot something.

What?

There he is.

No, dammit. It's shit. I've shown you 100 times.

- Ok, forget it. - Don't overthink it, Joseph.

We're gonna do this audition.

Hey.

It's me.

Emma.

- Remember? - Sure, I remember.

- Hey. - You didn't come alone?

I told you, the three of us wanna audition for your crew.

That's Joseph...

Karim. And me.

I won't have time for it.

I don't get it.

- You told me to come... - But not for that.

Please. You won't regret it.

Quickly then.

You first. Show us some moves.

Without music?

You slow or stupid? Hit it. I got shit to do.

No, just kidding. Assan, give him a beat.

Let's see what you got. Short and sweet, ok.

He killed you.

- Crushed ya. - Zip it!

Welcome, dude.

Thanks. My buddies?

1st round's in three weeks. They dance like you?

Better.

Holy shit!

Now we just need a job.

RÉMI NOWAK DANCE SCHOOL

Hurry up!

Let's do some grands battements now. Front and side and back. En cloche.

Back and fifth. And beat and beat.

Let's run through now. Unaccented beat.

Let's go.

Good.

Chloé, the music! Keep with the rhythm!

What's going on?

Do some stretching.

Joseph?

- What brings you here? - No hello even?

Hello.

- What do you want? - Great welcome.

- I'm moving to Paris, need a job. - Alright. Why come to me?

You're the only person I know in Paris. Maybe you have a contact...

- This is a bad time. - I get it.

You breeze in here during my class after 12 years.

- Put yourself in my shoes. - Sir?

Chloé, two minutes. I'm talking!

- Ok, I'm a problem. - Not at all, come on!

- Sir, everybody's cooling off. - Ok, girls! Pointe shoes on.

- Can I get a job here? - No idea. You play piano?

Seriously? Ok, bye.

So we're agreed. Bye, sir. Can we get back to work?

See you, guys.

- You're here for long? - Sure.

When do you leave?

Call me!

Five, six, seven, eight. And one...

Nearly, nearly. You got it.

Can't you sleep?

- Not bad. - Seriously?

Assan, late!

The audition's Saturday. Get real. Two weeks' work for what?

Shitty sofa bed!

Not so fast, Juliette. Keep it simple.

You wanna make it?

It's not just meh, it's shit!

Emma... Great.

Sorry.

The newbies, Emma and Karim, take the lead anytime.

Switch it up, grab the audience. That's important. Ok, guys?

It's looking good.

Youri!

- You on a spying mission? - No way.

Go on, out!

- Youri said nothing about me. - So what?

He comments on you and everyone except me.

Shit!

JULIETTE Cause you're killin it

That's so sweet, but how did you get my number?

You nailed the rehearsal, Juliette.

Hold on...

- Juliette's... - She blew her vocal data cap.

You dummy. She's non-verbal, poor kid.

- Seriously, you never noticed? - No, I mean sure but...

You're hopeless. Hopeless.

Auditions 1st Round

We have lots of crews in that style.

It won't cut it.

Seriously, they're out?

- Those guys are out? - Shit!

- We have no chance. - No.

- We're way better. - Too right. Why else did I pick you?

Now do your job and we'll be just fine.

No pointless risks till the final.

Kill-Off, on stage in three minutes!

Three minutes, please!

DAD Don't be a fool.

Same mistakes as your mother! Why turn your back on me?

We're up next.

- Did I startle you? - No.

It's no big deal, being fragile. I still love you.

You're an idiot!

Same here, Karim. I love you!

A real idiot.

Remember what I told you at practice.

Eye contact. Make eye contact.

Big it up.

- In tempo. - 7, 8, turn.

- We're way better. - 4, 5, throw.

- In the groove. - We can do this.

- We've got it. - We're better.

Breathe in tempo.

- Way better. - Faster.

- Energy in your fingers. - We've got this.

We're good, we're good.

- A team. - Together.

- Let's go. - It's now.

- Just do it. - Let's go.

Ok, Youri... It's not exactly original.

It needs more work and better execution.

But with your energy, we know you guys can surprise us.

So see you next month for the final of Masters of Hip-Hop.

It's sick, totally sick.

Thanks for the vibes.

- Stop it! - What?

- What you doing with my girl? - Bro, I didn't force her.

What? What's he talking about?

Three days, she's been sick over telling you.

Don't you get it? She's had it with you.

- Is that true? - I don't know.

Beat it.

Fuck, no! Guys, we're a crew.

Knock it off!

- Don't ruin it. - Shut it. I made you guys.

- We're not your dogs. - You hear me?

- Without me, this crew's shit. - Don't talk like that.

I do what I want. I don't need your lameass crew.

Like I give a fuck!

Get off me!

What now?

Joe, talk to me.

We had to give up on the couch tonight?

Won't you tell me where we are?

You know this place?

Why not come earlier?

- By the way, I'm Karim. - Rémi. I'm...

A friend.

You just moved in?

No, 15 years ago. I'll put you in the laundry room.

Since when are your friends 50 years old?

Joe, get up now.

Seriously, two days now, living at a stranger's house.

I have nothing to say to him.

Knock it off with the depression. That shit's getting contagious.

Look, it's beautiful out.

The view's not bad either.

- That should get you out of bed. - It's not depression, just the blues.

- Whatever it is, he's a sorry sight. - He's breathing.

Anyway...

See you tonight.

Seven and eight.

Rémi, I like you a lot.

For 10 years, your name has kept this school alive.

As you can see, it's not enough anymore.

We're headed for disaster. We need to make changes.

I'm on it.

For my part, I came up with two solutions.

Solution number one.
