Move it, move it, move it!

I got the new world in my view

On my journey I pursue

I'm running

Running for the city

I got the new world in my view

They ain't got muscle, no hustle

No backbone, I stand alone

Not trippin', just

sayin' I'm different

Ain't hangin' on to the

coattails of the next man

Passport in my left hand

Thinkin' that you are next

Heck, hope you ain't

holding your breath, man

'Cause I'm out here

Boom, boom.

Ain't had this much drive

since my Honda civic got rusty

You should leave.

See ya.

Run it again.

Spoiled it on me

like Willie beanie

Sip it for me like cappuccino

Instagram and tuxedos

with my peoples

We growin' up

Still the scene of us slowin' up

Tense wall we throwin' up

Every time, we be showin' up

Get it while I'm livin'

Up, up, up.

See them?

So I'm 'bout my business

And I'm runnin', I'm runnin'

I'm runnin' with them now

They don't wanna give it up

We gonna make it out

Hey. I'm almost done. I promise.

You're breaking in?

-No, i

-i got a key. I got once cut.

So you involve me

in this bullshit now.

-No.

-No, no, no, no.

I can't believe you!

Piss off, Benjy!

Get that sh*t out of here.

I've been

Feelin' a little lonely

Okay, stop playing around.

Not until you teach me

some of your fancy moves.

Okay, you're not

taking it seriously.

Excuse me?

I'm trying to broaden my

dance horizons, a'ight?

Okay.

I see you inside my daydreams

Do you want to try some lifts?

Sure.

Okay. I'm gonna run to you.

Turn around. Face this way.

Okay.

I'm gonna run, put my leg here,

and you're gonna wrap

your arm around my body,

and you're gonna flip

me over your shoulder.

This shoulder?

Like superman.

-Like superman?

-Yeah.

-Use those muscles.

-Yo.

-Okay, ready? Try it slow.

-Yeah.

5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, grab, pull forward.

So... not there!

No, okay. Again?

Yeah, yeah, okay.

You want to try running into it?

-Sure.

-Okay.

Here we go.

1, 2, 3, 4, lift.

So close.

What do you mean,

close? That was it.

No, hold up.

Let's dance.

Pardon me.

It's no surprise

That we ain't in heaven

We're on the earth

But you

You meet me in my darkest cavern

Can't count what you are worth

'Cause, baby, when

the waves crash over me

And, baby, when

the skies turn crazy

You're the only one

i want next to me

Me

With every passin' second,

every drop of fallin' rain

I realize I'm lucky

to be holding you

When my ground starts shakin'

and my bones start breakin'

I realize I'm lucky

to be holdin' you

We ain't in a perfect world

But you still

bring the stars out

I'm sorry.

Am I interrupting something?

Sasha was just

teaching me some lifts.

True?

How nice of you to

help our guest, Sasha.

Hey, ladies. Is that us?

-No, thanks.

-No, thanks.

Sweet. Up to you.

We're going for a

feed. Burger time.

Bro, they so want this.

-You've got issues.

Is everything all right at home?

-You know you want this, too.

And that's why you're single.

Aw, stop.

Tu, is that us?

Sure.

Madison kept stepping on me.

She's just not used to

dancing with hobbits.

-Shut up.

-Nah. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

So, do you guys, like,

go out or something?

No. She's my sister.

-Shane.

-Don't worry, "G."

I used to think they

were dating, too.

Bro, I thought she was

totally out of your league.

Can you not be awkward?

Hey, 'cause you're

pretty all right.

No, really. Just stop.

So, how'd it go with brant?

It was tough, man.

I mean, I hit him

with my best stuff,

but if I couldn't

make it look K-crew,

then he doesn't want

to know about it.

I mean, you're the ish

and everybody knows it.

-And if we can't dance like

them, then chk, chk, chk, chk...

Get the K-crew cut.

I'm not a stalker or anything.

I just saw the lights on.

It's all good.

Working on something new?

No, just conditioning.

Hey, we all good earlier?

I hope I didn't get

you in trouble with...

No, no.

It's totally my fault.

Kane doesn't really

like us messing around

during rehearsals.

It's all right to have

a little bit of fun.

Yeah.

You hungry?

Starving.

Welcome to my home.

Far out.

You sure your olds

won't be mad I'm here?

No. Dad's in China for business,

and mom still lives in New York.

So you got this whole

place to yourself.

Pretty much.

I hope quinoa salad's okay.

Sounds good.

How is it?

Yum.

You liar.

Hey, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do you ever ask yourself

if it's worth it?

If what's worth it?

All the things that we

do to win, to be the best.

Of course it's worth it.

Why?

'Cause dance is everything.

To dance with the best.

Man, I'd do anything to

be in K-crew with you.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

I'd be living the dream.

I don't know about dream.

Hey, beats joining the army.

The army?

Dad's thing.

Family tradition.

Sucks.

And your mom?

She's not around anymore.

This your mom?

She's the real deal.

Yeah, well, she's only agreed

to this whole hip-hop phase

'cause K-crew's doing so well.

Second we stop winning...

You sure I can't take you home?

Yeah.

'Cause you're driving

all wrong for a 'cuda.

Really?

Yep. You got to roll

the windows down.

-Check.

-And you got to ride low.

Like this?

No. Like this.

And you got to

turn the music up.

What's up?

Don't judge me.

You got to pump it.

I wouldn't want

to embarrass you.

I don't know

anybody around here.

Turn it up, turn it up.

That somebody loves you

Somebody thinks you

got a halo above you

He thinks you're wonderful

He thinks you're beautiful

In everything you do

Somebody loves you

He wants to tell you

every time you're near

We can't.

Somebody loves you

Somebody loves you

He's right here

I know.

Auger broke.

I opened it up and

already clocked you in.

Move your ass!

Thanks.

I won't be long.

Hey, sorry about last night.

We're gonna be late.

How we all feeling?

Hey, congrats on

making it this far.

But this is just the beginning.

We're going up a level.

We're doing three days a week.

-Sweet?

-Yeah.

Pair up.

Tu, you're with me.

I just want you to

be honest with me.

What's up?

Are you still serious

about being in my crew?

Of course I am.

Then, why are you holding back?

Well, most of my moves

aren't your style.

True. Your moves

are messy as hell.

I could fix it.

It just looks like you

don't want to dance with us.

-What? No. I do.

-I get it.

You see my nice ride,

my private studio.

You think I come from money?

Bro, I come from pommy,

straight-up ghetto trash.

I know what it's like

to come from nothing.

Everything I have now

i got from dancing.

And I got it 'cause I'm all-in.

-So what if I go all

-in but it's not enough?

That's on you.

But if you don't go all-in,

I'll cut you... tonight.

Tu, you're a solid dancer,

and I really want you

to make it into K-crew.

-Tell me what to do, then.

-Bring your "a" game.

So when do we start?

Hey.

What did he say?

Well, what did you guys do?

-You're so his favorite.

-You're so his favorite.

-Clue us up.

-Clue us up.
