Breaking Through Trailer Review

From the Step Up series to the classics like Dirty Dancing and Footloose, dance movies hardly ever disappoint, and the upcoming movie, Breaking Through, out in theatres Oct. 4, looks like another one for the collection.

The trailer captures the viewer’s attention immediately by opening up with a complicated dance scene that leaves one wishing they were coordinated enough to pull it off. After the quick scene is over, we get to the meat of the story which revolves around one struggling dancer named Casey who is discovered on YouTube by a talent scout, and trust into the world of internet fame. As we hit the climax of the trailer, one character says to Casey, “promise me things won’t change,” which leads the audience to believe that perhaps things will change and maybe not for the better.  

The Breaking Through trailer does it’s job of drawing in the viewer’s attention, and offering them a new and fresh spin on the dance movie genre by using the idea of internet celebrity. Remember this release date because this movie will make for the perfect date or fun girl’s night.
