Ruby is a dancer from the Midwest on scholarship, living her first day in New York City. Johnnie is a British musician, playing for money in the subway tunnels. Ruby’s world is classical and disciplined; Johnnie’s is improvisational and street smart. When a hip-hop battle gone wrong throws these two artists together, they immediately clash but can’t deny it when sparks begin to fly. Their lives quickly get entangled in the pitfalls that come with competing in New York City. With the help of a dynamic dance crew called The SwitchSteps, Ruby and Johnnie must find a way to save Ruby’s scholarship and keep Johnnie from being deported.
In an action-packed extravaganza combining cutting edge hip-hop with contemporary and classical dance, the two must navigate their opposing worlds and prepare for a competition where winning or losing will change their lives forever.
Omg this movie was absolutely amazing. so moving and so touching!!!
Watched outside my comfort zone… different and yes evolved, but absolutely didn't disappoint. Gr8 Movie, thank you all.
some parts are FUNNY ? OH YES
bravo!
There are movies & then there are MOVIES. This just isn't your typical group of actors, talent or music… it is GYPSY!!
O i pad
Messing up tv
Maybe because I dance & play music, but I live for these movies if the characters can really dance or play!!!!
I’ve watched this movie at least 17 times & I love it more, every single time!!!!
Oh Jesus he is so hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Should have played Edward in Twilight.

TRÈS BON FILM DE DANSE…J'ADORE LE FAIT QU'UN DES JUGES DISENT À LA FIN: "NE SOMMES NOUS PAS SUPPOSER D'ÉVOLUER" EN PARLANT DU MORCEAU QUE LE GROUPE INTERPRÈTE!!!
i can see why this was free
Foolish pride…such a waste of time…good movie…
Well I don't care I enjoy this movie..It's very good.. If Hollywood gotton they're libra claws into it it be so messed up with sex and drugs and some they're libral left winged garbage it be worth nothing.. So glad that the Indepence movies are still around come up with some really great movies… a whole lot better than these Hollywood crap they always put out..and Micheal Damian were the pretty good actor back in the 80's and 90's as well great Rock n Roll singer too..
Great movie!! It was so exciting watching all those taleneted people. . Awesome love story also. They should make more wholesome movies like this one.Thank you to whom ever uploaded this movie. thank you also to Youtube for playing it!! I have watched it twice.!
wonderful movie
That would suck if someone lived below that apartment/ dance studio/ basketball court
Very good movie.
When the movie FIRST started it sounded so similar to Twilight for some reason lol
But damn that bow fight!
That really got to me
good i dont have to rent it now
It’s cheese yet I watched it all the way through and I liked the ending most of all; pretty gut wrenching disappointment it felt like, but then, voile, the fanfare…
Wow. This is one of the best dancing. Movie s I've. Ever. Seen. Thank. You sooo. Much. For posting this. Movie. . Awesome
That was beautiful !
Brilliant!
Oh my god I'm sobbing the violin acting is horrendous it's so bad
The only time it's 'remotely okay' from what I've kind of seen is where they only see the upclose hand and nothing else
I can only get through 8 minutes damn the violin playing is shit so far, the acting is not the best
58:47, 58:57, She smiles like Princess Diana. Perfect movie.
im sorry this is hilariously bad
i love it
I expected the YouTube freebies to be terrible crap that an average high school AV club can easily outdo. This is better than most of the multimedia fast-food that Hollywood's been been serving our minds lately. It's got a message society seems to be losing as we allow technology to replace the personal touch from more aspects of daily life: Talents and gifts don't reach anyone unless you're with the right supportive team — even the YouTube soloists forget nowadays that YouTube's managers and other viewers are part of the team they need. If you're always exhibiting your talent in the middle o'nowhere you're relying on the outside chance of a passerby with all the right connections at just the right moment and you might as well play the state lottery because your chances are better there.
This movie's writers are correct in suggesting that true solo artists tend to keep playing in anger (whatever makes people solo tends to cause anger as well) and aren't likely to develop the necessary discipline to go anywhere with their talent. The same is true of the rigid traditionalists who can't loosen up enough to dance in present-day — just look at the changes that have happened to "church" in the last 20 years compared to the way things were for centuries before that. Something happens to us when we "let go of the Latin" and come into today.
This movie is a good reminder for the internet age that some things don't change no matter how much we change the world around us; technology or not, human souls still need each other as much as they did in ancient times. Each one of these characters would've been screwed in one way or another if they had to go it alone.
Random observation: Does anyone else see this couple is Jack and Rose from Titanic? Ocean currents carried Jack through a whirlpool of youth and he woke up, grabbed a floating violin in the wreckage, got washed into the NYC subway tunnels by a record-breaking storm surge and spent the last 100 years learning how to play the violin that helped save his life. These two even repeat the "Irish Party In Third Class" scene!
Random observation #2: Lindsey Stirling wasn't in this. WHY?!?!?
Bella me encanto
OKAY, the mc quite literally doesn’t know how to play a violin
He’s got that good hair don’t care vibes
Very good movie. Anyone who has to look in the mirror will see the change .it’s a great lesson for humanity. Pride, defeat in kindness and love
Thumbs ☝ ☝
Not really my type of movie but I thoroughly enjoyed this move, thats a thumbs up
Bien bien linda
Wow wow wow love it
MUY BUENA PELICULA CHICOS SE AGRADECE
10:10 did anybody notice the man said I love your plans played on the stories
So anybody else notice that will Smith has a young clone
Woow what a great motivation…_
This is a Great Movie with a little bit of Spice and a Bunch of Talent !!
They shpuld totally make a High Strung 2 with the same actors.
This is for kids. Blond girl is an albino and the dude in the black is a traumatized day walker.
I retract my original statement to say that this is another great movie fromUTUBE! It starts slow and gets you hooked that you just can't walk away. Thanks utube.
I just checked and it is made by Michael Damien as the singer and soap opera star, producer and his wife. that was involved making this movie. Simply brilliant!!!
His bow sucks
When this was on Netflix
The way he looks at her omg
This is free?
Honestly I'm disappointed by all the critical comments. If you have something negative to say KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!! I for one, really enjoyed this movie. There are actually a lot worse ones out there.
Awesome movie
I saw him smiling at 2:601
Definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen! ♥️
I dance and am learning violin but my bow broke i am very sad about that
