Stephanie Nix-Robello
\nDance Director for NIX Performing Arts Center<\/p>\n
Where and with whom did you see the movie?<\/B><\/p>\n
Pearlridge Mall with (my husband) Travis Nix-Robello.<\/p>\n
Overall, what did you think?<\/B><\/p>\n
I enjoyed the dance dynamic and choreography. There was a lot more dancing than I anticipated, which was amazing! Special effects for each of the flash mob moments were incredible and really inspired me as a choreographer. I loved how this movie really incorporated all the elements of dance.<\/p>\n
Acting wasn’t obviously impressive, nor was the plot. I understood how the story shows us the struggles of dancers out there in the real world, in which all people need to really understand that it is a tough world to break into or make it.<\/p>\n
Without giving away the ending, what was one of your favorite scenes?<\/B><\/p>\n
My favorite scene was definitely when actress\/dancer Kathryn McCormick was doing a contemporary freestyle. This really reminded me of when I used to really use dance as a form of expression. She was frustrated with her father not supporting her dreams as a dancer, and so she used music, movement and technique to let go of all her worries and frustrations.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
On a scale of one to four stars, what would you rate this film?<\/B><\/p>\n
\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n
What did you think of the cinematography?<\/B><\/p>\n
Of course! Who doesn’t remember Twitch, Travis Wall and all the amazing dancers who branched out from doing SYTYCD <\/I>(So You Think You Can Dance<\/I>)? It was great that they also brought some of the actors from the previous<\/p>\n
Step Up <\/I>movies.<\/p>\n
Did the soundtrack contribute significantly to the film?<\/B><\/p>\n
What is dance without music? It definitely had a strong contribution to making each of the flash mob chore-ographies stand out.<\/p>\n
Would you buy this movie when it comes out on DVD?<\/B><\/p>\n
Yes. My daughters love dance, and I would like to show them how the dance world took the globe by storm.<\/p>\n
What’s your favorite movie snack?<\/B><\/p>\n
Red Vines.<\/p>\n
On a different note, what’s new with you?<\/B><\/p>\n
I am currently a dancer in a new show at the Royal Hawaiian Theatre in Waikiki called Legends In Concert. It is the world’s No. 1 tribute artist show. Also, you can catch me on KHON2 News Wake Up 2Day <\/I>with Olena Heu to recap SYTYCD <\/I>episodes starting Aug. 16 and every other Thursday until the season finale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
