"Turn the Beat Around" premieres on MTV this Friday, February 26. While the plot sounds somewhat familiar ("a struggling young dancer gets the opportunity to fulfill her professional dreams when she convinces a wealthy club owner to open a modern disco where people can connect through dance"), the dancing and and music should be of interest to fans of America's Best Dance Crew.
The dancing will be a combination of hip hop and stylized classic disco. The film features a special performance by Jason DerĂ¼lo (“Whatcha Say”) and a soundtrack with original remakes of classic disco songs by Cobra Starship and Sing It Loud. One of the dancers -- Brooklyn Sudano -- is the daughter of The Queen of Disco herself, Donna Summers. I plan to watch it on Friday, and suggest you do likewise.
Based on my interest in the movie, MTV donated one copy of the "Turn the Beat Around" DVD (in general release March 9) to give away to a reader. So, here's the contest: Create a caption for this movie still and leave it in the comments. I'll read through them and award the DVD to my favorite. This contest runs until midnight March 2.
