Film description

Fleur makes tofu in her parents' shop, but she wants more from life. She is a brilliant dancer, and the first days at the university are her chance to make her big dreams come true. When she storms her way into BombA, a strong hip hop crew, it looks like the fate is smiling upon her. But, as usual, life turns out to be complicated… Personal problems, conflicts within the crew, and the competition from the incredibly well-prepared Rooftoppers are keeping Fleur awake at night. Her hopes for winning the best group competition start dwindling.

A clash of street dance, tai chi, kung fu, and parkour results in an explosive mix filled with positive energy, fantastic music, spectacular choreography, and the show-stopping Cherry Ngan in the center of the story, whizzing through the screen like a real-life comet. The premiere of the film was a dopamine shock for the city that was still hoping for a good future. "The Way We Dance" was an absolute blockbuster, and Wong went on to direct its sequel, "The Way We Keep Dancing," shown at the 15th Five Flavours.
