Yet, all over the world, hip hop crews are still largely ignored by the official art scene and denied opportunites to perform on national stages \u2013 except perhaps in one country: France. The film visits several of France\u2019s most top-ranked dance crews as they demonstrate \u2013 through master classes, theater performances and competition battles \u2013 how they are revitalising contemporary dance with the help and direction from renowned French choreographers such as Anthony Egéa and Mourad Merzouki. Whether it\u2019s 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. Combining stunning dance footage, personal interviews, and thrilling breakdancing competitions, this documentary sets out to show how hip hop is continually evolving and prove that it\u2019s not just a form of dance \u2013 it\u2019s art!
