Feel the Beat-Kids Movie Review
April (Sofia Carson) is a 20-something aspiring dance professional who faces eviction from her New York City apartment. Much to her dismay, she ends up back home in New Hope, Wisconsin. April receives a warm welcoming from her father, and her dance teacher, Barb. Eventually, Barb entices April to teach a dance class. Sadly, April is a very selfish, dismissive instructor who has her own agenda while trying to prepare her group of misfit students for a competition. After much drama, April’s heart softens as she tries to connect with her adorable, young, students. Feel the Beat is an upbeat, entertaining film, which will appeal to young dance students!
