In inner city London, a street
dance crew is on the verge of breaking up after its leader, Jay
(Ukweli Roach), leaves the group unexpectedly. The group loses the use of their
rehearsal space, forcing them to try to raise money or practice in other
locations. Eventually they secure a space in a ballet school, on the condition
that they include five ballet dancers in their routine. At first, they struggle
to get along, but they all become friends in the end.
One of the teachers at the ballet school, Helena (Charlotte Rampling), takes Carly (Nichola
Burley) to a ballet where she starts getting ideas for their routine. When
she arrives home, Carly finds Jay waiting for her and the two spend the night
having sex. During a dance battle in a club the next night, the team learn that
Jay has betrayed the team by joining The Surge, a rival crew. Jay brags about
his sex with Carly and Tomas (Richard
Winsor), a ballet dancer, punches Jay out of anger. Jay is furious and
swears revenge. Carly, upset over the betrayal, leaves the club and is nearly
hit by a car before Tomas pulls her out of the way. Tomas then takes Carly back
to his apartment where they dance on the roof, eventually kissing. Carly then
leaves him alone on the roof, while they both look at the sunrise and smile.
The next day at the school, Carly announces the new name of
their dance crew: Breaking Point. Another teacher at the school, outraged that
her students are being corrupted, deliberately plans a Royal
Ballet audition for the same day as the street dance finals. The
ballet dancers promise Carly they will make it, but the auditions were running
overtime.
In an attempt to give Breakin Point more time to wait for
the ballet dancers, Carly's friend Eddie (George
Sampson) goes out onto the dance floor and starts dancing, surprising the
crew and wowing the audience. The ballet team turn up at the final anyway, and
their teacher Helena drives the Royal Ballet judges to the streetdancing final
so they can see the dancers perform. The routine is a success, Carly and Tomas
kiss during the performance, and the crowd is enthralled. Jay is furious that
The Surge have been beaten and he's lost Carly.
The film ends with Breaking Point and The Surge dancing to N-Dubz' "We Dance
On".
