to get out of this place

and to do it big.

I don't know.

Look, imagine you're me

and your best

mate just got given

the opportunity of a

lifetime dropped in his lap.

Now, what would

you tell him to do?

What do I tell the others?

-Nothing.

-But Vonnie.

Vonnie don't need to know.

No one needs to know, not

till they need to know.

Yeah. I guess you're right.

I know I'm right, and so do you.

K-crew.

It's there. Pretty mean.

Sort of get in early, get

out early kind of thing?

I've been working with kids

on their school holidays

for 20 years,

and no one's ever wanted to

start their shift earlier.

Since my dad's got me up

at the ass crack of dawn,

I reckon I'd just start the day.

6:
00 on the dot.

Don't make me regret it.

I won't.

Try and keep up, old man.

Good to see you

finally showed up, son.

Check it out, 1, 2

Hey, yo, hey, yo

I came a long way

since back in the day

From a teenager tryin' to

make it, rappin' this way

Ever since I was a kid,

i had somethin' to say

Rockin' Mikes was the dream,

i didn't care about pay

I sacrificed late nights

and goin' out with my friends

Just to stay home alone

with my pad and my pen

Had my eyes on my

prize, my mind on my goal

As I carved these rhymes

out with my heart and my soul

I didn't have a cd,

all I had was a tape

On the dole through my

flow was my only escape

From a world where they

didn't want to see me prevail

Don't want to see me take it all

They'd rather see me fail

It's like

I was down and out, struggling

Wondered how I'm

gonna make it through

I got a dream

All I had was a pad and a pen

Holding on

Wondered how

I got a dream

I won't let go 'cause I got...

Come on.

Thanks for coming.

Really stoked to have you here.

We've seen your footage.

You know you got the moves,

but do you have what it takes?

Behind me are the best

dancers in New Zealand,

among some of the

best in the world.

And with myself, we make up

the K-crew's national team.

Three-time world champions.

Yeah, buddy.

You have six weeks

before regionals

to show us what you got.

You show us you got the k-factor,

you're in K-crew.

But if you're ever late or you

don't show up, I will cut you.

I don't care if you're sick.

I don't care if you have jobs.

Either we're your

priority or we're not.

And if we're not, leave now.

All right then.

Brant, take them through.

All right, guys, we're

doing basic choreography.

Here we go. Music. Let's do it.

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

It's close.

But for it to work, you have to

do it just like everyone else.

Watch me.

Better.

So, you know everyone here?

Kind of. I know

of everyone here.

What's her story?

Sasha?

Moved over last year.

Been repping out

competitions ever since.

Moved from where?

New York.

-Is she with Kane?

-Better believe it.

Off-limits, Romeo.

Yo, you guys both made it in.

Next session's tricks, though.

Sweet. Thanks, brant.

-Trick.

-Whatever.

You fellas got a beef?

Let's just say

not everyone is as comfortable

with my sexuality as I am.

-What a dick.

-I'm used to it.

Hater's gonna hate.

I bet they're gonna

work us like dogs

to get us ready for regionals.

Woof, woof.

Tu.

Tu, come on. Wake up.

Thanks.

Bro, they've got

a massive studio...

All these mirrors,

locker room, showers.

Sweet setup.

So party on the

north shore, is it?

Nah. We'll party on the

shore if I make the crew.

So when do you find that out?

Six weeks of auditions.

Six weeks?

Oi.

Is Phil all good with you

working half days that long?

I'm here at 6:
00,

opening up shop.

Look at you?

Can you flip me the key

so I can hustle some green?

Uncle Tucker's been

bugging me for a new spot.

This place is busy,

but low-key it is

and heaps of places

to stash my stuff.

Just 'cause I ain't

gonna dob you

doesn't mean I'm

gonna help you out.

Yeah, yeah.

But I'm serious about a

party on the shore, though.

Put a little brown

in browns bay.

Got the "little" part right.

Go from this last part.

Smash it out. 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Go 1 and 2 and 3 and ta.

Ta, ta, ta, ta,

ta, ta, boom, ka.

-Yes?

-Okay, all good.

Practice that. Take a break.

We'll come back to it.

Crew not good enough

for you anymore, docks?

Yeah, my auntie said that

she seen you on the bus

going to the north shore.

What's up with that, man?

Yeah...

Are you gonna tell

them, or should I?

What? Tell them what?

Gather around.

-What's happening?

-I've got an announcement.

Benjy, don't.

What's up?

On me.

Tu's in love with a shore girl.

Sad, but true.

-It's nothing serious.

-Nothing serious?

Hell, she got this

maori catching a bus

for three hours two days a week.

What?

Boy's whooped!

-This boy's wet!

-Yeah.

Well...

When a rich, white

girl call for him

lord!

Take a break.

He got to ride that

bus to the north shore

whoo!

Yeah!

If he want it,

he got to ride it

so he can wine it

baby, baby

if he want it, he got to ride it

Benjy, what?

So he can grind it baby, baby

if you want it, you got to

ride it till you can grind it

-See you fellas later.

-Peace.

Bro, stop stalling.

You've got to...

Hey, Tucker, it's Benjy.

What?!

Yo, Tu!

"G," do you remember

that video I made of you?

Yeah.

That's had 20,000 views.

Yo.

I don't think your head's

allowed to get any bigger.

It's ugly enough already.

Yo, Tu. Tu, can I talk to you?

Yeah.

Alone?

What are you up to you?

Don't you worry about

what we're up to.

Get home before

you get in trouble.

Whatever, ball sack.

Come, Ceejay.

The girls are having

a heart-to-heart.

Bro, my uncle's

place just got raided.

I really need your key.

What? No.

Bro, I just need it for tonight.

Then I'll give it straight back.

-I could lose my job, man.

-I know.

I wouldn't ask if

this wasn't legit.

Tucker's on me hard.

So...?

Did I help you before?

Yeah, but...

So two-way street, bro.

I'm serious, Tu. I need this.

I want it back tomorrow.

Tomorrow, first thing.

Thanks, man.

Yeah, yeah. See you.

Nice, Conrad.

Jase.

Show you how it's done.

Keep him in the middle,

team! Let's go!

Wallin' on it

let's take it up a notch.

Brant, Andrew.

Wa, wa, wallin' on it

Wa, wallin'

We got any pairs in the house?

-Yo.

-Yo.

Twins, bro. Twins.

Madison, give me some queen bee.

Yeah!

We got any girls left?

Yeah. Tino's left.

Brant, that's enough.

-All right.

-Sophie.

No.

I got this.

Sasha, your turn.

Tu, what you got?

Top that?

What's the holdup?

So, won these today.

Not really my style.

What are you on about?

These kicks are choice.

Turns out you have some tricks.

A couple.

I seen you guys jam before.

Didn't know you

could dance like that.

Well, ballet really

isn't Kane's thing.

Probably 'cause he can't

lift his leg up that high.

True.

But he does know how

to win championships.

Anyway, I'm out.

A'ight.

Check you out, girl.

See you next week?

A'ight.

Out of the trenches!

Son.

Let me see your war face!

Outside for stretches!
