What do viewers say about the tape? The audience calls the stereotyped nature of all films about dances negative: there is a certain hero who wants to win the competition, he gathers a team, and there will definitely be someone in this team who will betray the rest, as well as a girl who will become his lover. This story repeats itself over and over again like Our Father, and the scriptwriters do not even want to change anything. In this regard, "Street Dance-2" is no different from other paintings.
But there is also a human factor that makes viewers give preference to a particular dance film. In "Street Dance-2", the trump card is the passionate Sofia Butella, who moves incredibly beautifully and has phenomenal flexibility.
Viewers note that there are more dance numbers in this tape than ever before. “Step forward” cannot even boast of such an abundance of dance steps. The whole film is a continuous dance, which is interrupted each time for only a couple of minutes, so that later on, the performers can continue to demonstrate their skills further.
In addition, "Street Dance-2" released in 3D, which gives the film a certain advantage and adds entertainment.
