StreetDance

GIRL: 'Ever since I was a young girl, you'd find me up in my room,

'dancing in front of a mirror.

'Carly and her street dance crew, smashing it on some stage,

'the crowd going wild.

'It kept me going after I left home,

'and came to London, where street dance led me to my new family.

'My crew.

'I'm still dancing and dreaming in front of that mirror.

'It's just now, I share my dream.'

# Matter of fact, gonna beg you

CHEERING

We're half way to New York. If we dance like that in the finals, who's gonna beat us?

TANNOY: 'Final call for The Surge.'

Guys!

HIP HOP INSTRUMENTAL THROUGHOUT

Damn, they're good.

That's why they're champions, Carly.

Guys! Show some class.

-Are you gonna get the drinks in, then?

-Maybe.

-CHEERING

-J20, the next UK champion.

CHEERING AND WHOOPING

I love you.

Your round, Mac.

Guys. Guys!

OK, this is the...

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

I'm going.

I wanted to end it on a high.

-Good one, Jay(!)

-I'm serious.

I'm under a lot of pressure right now at work and uni.

-Something's gotta give and it's gotta be this.

-So what are you saying?

-Jay...

We've all got pressures, bruv. We've got a chance to be UK champions,

go to New York and represent our country.

I wouldn't do this, if you couldn't handle it.

But you can. Carly knows the choreo, she can take it from here.

No, babe, can't we just talk about it?

I've made up my mind.

It's your crew, now.

I'm gonna miss you guys.

This is some joke 'ting.

I'm gonna sort it, all right?

BUZZER

-You're not gonna change my mind.

-What's wrong, Jay?

I thought you wanted to win, be UK champions.

Sometimes you gotta make choices.

So why didn't you tell me? I looked like such an idiot.

I just... I need to get my head straight, have a bit of a time out.

Well, have a week off and come back.

I mean, from everything.

Everyone.

I need to get rid of distractions for a bit, Carly.

Thanks(!) I'm a distraction, am I?

The biggest.

-Is it because I said I love you?

-No!

It's just a time out.

If you take over the crew, you won't even notice I'm gone.

OK?

One jacket with cheese. Enjoy.

He said it was just a time out.

Oh, cut and run, Carls.

He's ditched us all five weeks before the finals.

I could take Jay's place in the crew.

Here's your man.

-SHE LAUGHS:

-Yeah, right, Eddie(!) Keep practising.

Let's just concentrate on winning the street dance final, yeah?

Yeah, you're right.

Then he'll want me back, won't he?

Blonde and Northern. Tragic, really.

SHE LAUGHS: Thanks, Eddie. Let's get down to rehearsals.

Offer still stands, Carly.

Why me? Shouldn't you be running the crew, Shawna?

I just dance. You see the bigger picture.

-Will they listen to me?

-Not if you sound like that!

You gotta be kick-arse Carly, man, come on! Gimme some heat!

-Is that all you got?!

-Argh!

LAUGHTER

Oi! Oi!

Allez, go into the centre.

Oh...!

I don't get it. He's lost his family, rude boy.

How can we be J20 without Jay? It don't make no sense.

Why are they stood outside?

Just march in and show no fear. You're the boss.

Come on, gimme some heat.

Gimme some!

That was lame! Kick arse, Carly, or kiss arse.

Come on, guys, let's get started.

Can't you just...

STEEL DRUMS PLAYING

OK, guys. Slight hitch.

You didn't book the rehearsal space?

-Was I meant to?

-Ah, come on, Carly, you're the boss, right?

If you wanna leave, Frankie, be my guest.

Without Jay, it's a waste of time.

MUTTERS AND PROTESTS

Steph, what are you doing?

I'm sorry.

We're supposed to be a crew.

Don't worry, they'll be back.

Guys, I can replace them.

LAUGHTER

Come on, Eddie!

Listen, guys, I don't know how to do this yet,

but what I do know is we have got a heavy crew.

We've got a final in September.

Can't we just find somewhere to rehearse and get on with it,

show Jay what we're made of?

And...?

Why don't you sponsor us?

You're all right.

I was looking more at your room, actually.

That doesn't say much for my dancers.

No, they're very good.

They're not really feeling it, though, are they?

They look bored stiff.

Why are you interested in the room?

Need somewhere to rehearse with my street dance crew.

I don't suppose you rent these rooms for a fiver, do you?

Are you any good?

God, yeah. Got the UK finals in a few weeks.

Blow this lot out the water.

OK. I'd like to see it.

Ha! Yeah, right(!)

Really.

We're dancing in the shopping centre tonight, if you do mean it.

-Seven-ish.

-If I can get away, I'll come.

Really(!)

How will I find you?

Follow the crowds.

You are Romeo and Juliet. You could die for each other.

Could I please get an inkling of this?

You'll have a stage and an audience.

What d'you want them to feel?

Jay...

I got your message.

It was Shawna. She's mad at you.

Sorry I didn't call you back.

You said you needed time out.

I've missed you.

-Really?

-Of course.

Look at you. Where've you been? You look amazing.

You wouldn't believe.

D'you wanna ask me in? Tell me about it?

-Sorry...

-Shh.

It's me who should be apologising.

What will your ballet boyfriend think?

Probably pirouette you to death if he existed.

You know I've been waiting for you?

-And you're still going for the finals?

-Gonna try.

Are the ballet dancers any good?

Hm, really good.

Problem is trying to get them to dance like us.

There's still a place for you.

Sounds like you're managing just fine.

One minute, I think we're doing good.

Then I think of The Surge and we don't even come close.

Not everyone can be wonderful.

-Oh, thanks(!)

-But you've got to do your best.

MUSIC: "Champion Sound" by Fatboy Slim

# Flip out and overload

# La la la la... #

-Oi!

-Fred and Ginger, there is a queue.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you!

Why now? I don't get it.

He said it was a time out and he meant it.

-Hm...

-Hi!

Besides which, Shawns, I'm a sex goddess. Couldn't stay away.

GIGGLES

Oh, yeah. Forgot that!

MUSIC: "Get Sexy" by Sugababes

# Woah! Yeah

# Yeah, woah!

# When I'm walkin' down the street They say hey, sexy

# When I'm drivin' in my car Or I'm standin' at the bar

# It don't matter where I are They say hey, sexy

# Silly boys, they lovin' me so much

# Silly boys, you can look But you can't touch... #

-The warm up's changed!

-That's cos she had a late night last night.

-LAUGHS

-Means Jay's back on the scene.

You know what, we should all go out tonight, check out some fresh moves.

-Yeah, I'm on that.

-Now, you're talking!

-Yeah, I think so!

LAUGHS

# ..let's get sexy right now... #

Er, I don't drink.

So what do you do?

Yo, babe. Wanna dance?

DJ INDISTINCT

Carly, Carly!

-DJ:

-Ladies, make way. Make way!

I swear they must get off on them uniforms!

Listen to what I'm saying,

it's the UK national champs, it's The Surge.

-Let's get the others.

-The dance floor's open.

Anybody wants to step up to the challenge...

Let's see what you can do, let's do this thing.

HIP-HOP MUSIC AND CHEERING

So what's the name of the game?

It's not a game, it's a battle.

Just throw down some moves.

Let's go!

See what I'm sayin', UK champs!

CHEERING

All right, what we got here?

Are we ready?

All right, let's go!

You see that?!

Ladies?

Woah!

Ladies are getting involved now.

Watch it, d'you know that...

Woo hoo!

Oh, oh, hold up!

Hold up, what is...

Topless ballet in the building!

I don't know, man, but it kinda works, too.

CHEERING

I think that's called a pirouette or summat,

I don't know, but it's all good.

See what Surge can do!

Oh, there's your girl, there's your girl!

That one's cheeky!

SCREAMING AND SHOUTING

TAXI HORN BLARES

SHE SOBS

It's OK.

Welcome to my world.

College fees don't leave a lot left over for fancy apartments.

MUSIC: "Life Is Beautiful" by Vega4

It does have one redeeming feature.

What?

Close your eyes.

Don't be silly.

Come on.

# When you run into my arms

# We steal a perfect moment... #

Open your eyes.

Wow!

It's not bad, is it?

It's beautiful.

This is where I do my street dancing.

SHE LAUGHS

What?

All right, check this out.

-SHE LAUGHS

-Honestly, what?! Ready?

SHE LAUGHS

All right, bit more practice!

I tell you, we'll beat those Surge guys.

No, we can't.

Who am I kidding? They're the best at what they do.

So do something different.

What d'you mean?

Well, you've got five ballet dancers in your crew.

Use us.

What, put ballet and street together?

-Yeah, why not?

-It doesn't go.

How d'you know?

SHE LAUGHS

Come on.

What are you doing?

Put me down!

# Will you run back into my arms?

# Like you did when you were young

# Will you come back to me?

# And I will hold you tightly

# When the hurting kicks in

# Life is beautiful

# But it's complicated

# We barely make it

# We don't need

# To understand

# There are miracles

# Miracles

# Stand

# Where you are

# We let all these moments

# Pass us by

# It's amazing

# Where I'm standing

# There's a lot that we can give

# This is ours

# Just for the moment

# There's a lot that we can give

# It's amazing

# Where I'm standing

# There's a lot that we can give

# This is ours

# Just for the moment

# There's a lot that we can give... #

Can everyone come together? I've something to say.

To those of you who know Jay,

he didn't think we were good enough.

He didn't think we could beat The Surge.

-So he joined them.

-Low life.

And to the rest of you,

I've been trying to fit you into a Surge-shaped box.

And I'm sorry. We're never gonna fit.

We're going to do something different.

MUTTERING AND LAUGHTER

I want us to be ourselves.

Just be at OUR best.

Whether that's dancing ballet or dancing street.

All right.

We'll mix it all up. Make something beautiful.

And we'll win the competition because of who WE are.

So what are we called?

Breaking Point.

Letters of concern from Isabella's mother,

from Chloe's very rich and very generous father,

worried that your street dance experiment

is unsettling their daughter's training.

They needed to be "unsettled."

You are corrupting the discipline of our best students.

I don't like to question your methods, Helena,

but this seems wilfully perverse.

Is it a mid-life crisis?

Oh!

The street dancers were bouncing off the walls when they came in here,

literally bouncing.

Wouldn't you like to see that exuberance in our students?

Eh, non!

It could transform their performances.

And vandalise the college.

Look, I'm calling time on this, Helena.

We must focus on getting them into the best ballet companies.

And for that, they need fire.

Believe me, we all want the same thing.

Carry on. Just observing.

-Find this class useful, Thomas?

-It's invaluable, sir.

-Hm.

-Carly's excellent.

Chloe?

Dope!

I mean, very educational.

Much more joie de vivre, n'est ce pas?

Well, I think I can see how that might put some attitude into their attitudes.

-HE CHUCKLES

-Very good. Please, carry on, Helena.

Monsieur, being dopey won't get them into the Royal Ballet.

Enough, Madame.

Is everything all right?

Yes, good. Good work.

You knew we'd gel eventually, didn't you?

Honestly? No.

Sometimes, you just have to try things.

CHEERING AND WHOOPING

What day are the street dance finals?

Who submitted them for this date?

Does it matter? It's the Royal Ballet.

-The same day as their street dance performance.

-Is that an issue?

-It was Madame Fleurie, wasn't it?

-We all want the same thing, Helena.

DOOR OPENS

Well done, young lady. Helena.

I didn't know, Carly.

So what are you gonna do about it, then?

Unfortunately, there's not much I can do.

This has been the plan all along, hasn't it?

Get some mugs in to liven up your deadweight dancers, then drop 'em.

I didn't plan this.

Carly, there's something you have to understand.

These auditions are their street dance final.

And what about ours?

Helena, why did you take me to the ballet

and feed me that "this is dance" rubbish,

knowing you'd shaft us in a second?

We know.

They don't have to do their audition.

Of course they do.

They've been training for this their whole lives.

Carly, we can do both.

-We'll do the auditions and be there easily by four.

-D'you think?

Yes, definitely.

Then go and rehearse. Be brilliant.

We'll brain you if you don't get in.

-We'll be there.

-Go on.

What if they don't make it?

Are we ready?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yo, are we having fun?

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Good, good, good! Having a good time?

Now there's only two crews left.

So next on stage, reigning champions, The Surge!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We're on next and they're not here yet!

I knew it.

-Why don't we just go on, anyway?

-What?! Are you stupid?

Come on, guys!

If we start tearing each other apart again, it's all been for nothing.

-She's right.

-Yeah, man. Come on, guys.

If we wanna be with them, we have to go now.

Too bad we won't be seeing you on that winner's podium.

Who cares?

We don't need some tacky bit of metal to prove we're winners.

You can say it, but I know you don't mean it, Carly.

I feel sorry for you, Jay.

A bit part player in someone else's crew for the sake of winning.
