The film visits several of France’s most top-ranked dance crews as they demonstrate – through master classes, theatre performances and competition battles – how they are revitalizing contemporary dance with the help and direction from renowned French choreographers such as Anthony Egéa and Mourad Merzouki. Whether it’s about raising their individual and artistic expression or combining unique styles such as boxing or circus-themed acts to their choreography, these professional dancers reveal how they are bringing fresh, new energy and creativity to hip hop in order to attract new audiences.
