StreetDance 2 Page #2

Synopsis: Beaten by his rival Invincible's hip-hop crew and ridiculed as 'Popcorn boy', Ash seeks revenge at the annual international street dance championship in Paris. He travels trough Europe to gather an exceptionally talented crew. In Paris, he meets in her overprotective uncle-guardian Manu's bar and wants Latin dancer Eva. They agree to attempt a fusion with hip-hop, introducing Latin pair dancing, and become lovers. A week before the tournament, Ash gets cold feet, all seems lost.

Let me just get this clear.

This is a Latin-street-dance fusion

we're talking about here,

not an Ash-Eva fusion.

-Eva. That sounds really beautiful.

-Focus, Ash.

-We've still got to convince the crew.

-But they'll love the tango!

-Salsa!

-Salsa, tango, whatever.

Look, we'll show her the crew,

she'll love 'em, bam, we're unbeatable.

Bonjour.

lt's that crazy guy again.

And my crew.

(UNORTHODOX PLAYlNG)

Oh, mon Dieu. This is not a refugee camp.

-Uncle, it's okay.

-MANU:
We're closed.

lt's okay.

You said you'd think about it.

Well, let's see what they can do.

# And now l feel like

l'm the reason l should last

# l move like my ish don't stink

# But l'm all in a trance, no hit, no assist

# This is all from the heart, intro, no script

# l'm just about writing it down

# So now l don't sleep, man

l miss those nights

# l take planes like trains

l don't miss no flights

# l'm the type of guy that will have no life

# Just so l can shine like this gold life

# And that sounds sad but l'm happy

# And the only plans to stay scatty

# Yeah, unorthodox,

l made the bar so l call the shots

# We don't follow no crowd, they follow us

# Don't follow no sound, it follows us

# Go sit in hell, look down that wishing well

# Unorthodox, we call our own shots

# Yeah, l got a good vibe

# l ain't trying to be bait with my hook lines

# l had a feeling l could fly

# Before l hopped on a plane or a new sky

# Yeah, l'm a good guy

# And if you heard otherwise, it's a true lie

# l'm hype, l don't do shy

# l bark up every tree and l do bite

# Psych, l'm only playing

# You all got freedom of speech,

l'm only saying

# l ain't got time for beef, l'm on the way in

# So the eighth day

of the week's my only lay in

# That sounds sad but l'm happy

# And the only plan's to stay scatty

# Yeah, unorthodox,

l made the bar so l call the shots

# We don't follow no crowd, they follow us

# Don't follow no sound, it follows us

# Go sit in hell, look down that wishing well

# Unorthodox, we call our own shots

# No one can hold us down again

l need an answer.

This is something we could be a part of.

"We"?

Me and my dance partner.

Lucien.

# We don't follow no crowd, they follow us

# Don't follow no sound... #

-All right, playtime is over, thank you.

-(ALL PROTESTlNG)

-Ciao.

-ASH:
Listen up.

We've only got six weeks to get ready

for the Final Clash.

And if we want to win this, we gotta

come up with something that is so different

that lnvincible won't have an answer.

Eva, Lucy...

Lucien.

Right. Lucien.

Take the floor.

(CREW LAUGHlNG)

(MURMURlNG)

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

(MOCKlNG CHATTER)

LUClEN:
Stop.

That's it.

l don't want to dance for these idiots.

-Ooh!

-Ciao.

That's granny style.

-(SPEAKS lTALlAN)

-This is ridiculous, Ash.

l'm a B-boy.

Don't try and make us look stupid.

That went very well.

Eva, please.

Give us a chance.

Your friends have no manners.

l know, l know.

But they're good guys. lt's just...

Street dance is all about front and reputation.

They just don't want to lose face.

But they don't...

They don't know what you do yet.

Well, go figure it out.

(SlGHlNG)

ASH:
You see, a good idea is just an idea...

Until you make it work.

TlNO:
We're here to battle.

ASH:
The crew couldn't understand

why l wanted the best street dancers

in Europe to do Latin.

But l wasn't giving up without a fight.

You guys are so stuck on what you know.

l had to persuade the crew to come back

to the club with me one more time.

(LES TRES GORDOS REMlX PLAYING)

All right?

(EXCLAlMS)

Latin dance is vicious.

We hear you, man.

Thank you.

Well done.

-l think we're definitely on again.

-(CHUCKLlNG)

What makes you think

l want any more to do with you?

Well, you liked what you saw earlier

and you can see how this might work.

(SCOFFS) Pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?

l gotta be. l'm the leader of this thing.

Teach us some of it.

Then l want you in bed.

Your first lesson starts at 9:00.

ln the morning.

ASH:
lf we were going to beat lnvincible

at the Final Clash,

Eddie's Latin idea had to work.

For the first time in my life,

l was going to have to learn

how to dance with someone.

One, two, three and step.

Fingertips.

-One, two, three...

-Stop jiggling your shoulders.

Turn me a little bit slower.

No, okay, stop. You're showing off.

l'm just dancing.

No. You want to look good.

Get applause from the crowd.

But listen. You're not dancing with them,

you're dancing with me.

Again.

No. Reach out your hand.

Good.

This is a tough crowd.

Listen, salsa is not about

the choreography or the steps.

lt's about the passion.

You have to feel it, mean it.

Yeah?

-Feel it?

-Yes.

Okay.

And one, two, three.

Good.

Now cross-body lead.

What are you doing?

We don't have that much time. l'm just...

Just teach me one of those tricks

that l can use against lnvincible.

The basics first.

You've got a battle to prepare for.

lf l can't trust you with the simple stuff,

how am l gonna trust you with the tricks?

l'm sorry.

Relax.

So l guess dinner is out of the question?

EVA:
Good...

Good. Now cross-body lead.

Good.

Better.

Two times. And... Yeah.

Okay, good. Let's leave it there.

Um, Uncle, remember Ash?

Hard to forget.

Ash, Manu.

-Hello.

-Hi.

l'm going to be working with him.

lt's okay to practise here, right?

Yeah, of course.

And his friends too?

They're practising in their hostel.

Sure. Why not?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

-ASH:
Thank you. l really appreciate that.

-My pleasure.

Well, l should probably head back

-and tell them the good news.

-Mmm.

-l'll see you out.

-Thank you.

-Eva's really incredible.

-Mmm.

You're gonna have to come down

-and see her in the battle.

-Mmm-hmm.

lf you hurt her, l will break your legs.

ASH:
Five, six, seven, let's go.

(BASS DOWN LOW PLAYlNG)

(ASH CONTlNUES COUNTlNG THE STEPS)

# lf you wanna get with me

There's some things you gotta know

# l like my beats fast, and my bass down low

# Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low

# Bass, bass, bass down low

# l, l, l like my beats fast

And my bass down low

# Bass, bass down low

# Bass, bass, bass down low

# Bass, bass, bass down low,

low, low, low, low, low #

ASH:
All right, everybody, take a break.

Take a break. Get some water.

-Can you please show me that step?

-Sure.

One, two, three and four.

-One, two, three and four.

-Yep, that's good.

Yo, Ash has been giving you

extra lessons, huh?

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

EVA:
Well, l've been giving him extra lessons.

YOYO:
Oh.

BAM-BAM:
So you like him?

As much as any of you.

-Oh.

-Yeah, right.

Let us know when you gonna find his tattoo.

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

Okay. Well, can you show me that step again?

-Okay.

-BOTH:
One, two, three and four.

Thanks, Steph. Take five.

Take a break. Come on.

You look great out there.

And your body is absolutely...

Perfect. For hip-hop.

And technical work.

Yep. Ca va.

Ca va.

Uncle, this feels great. lt's amazing.

There's no rules. lt feels free.
