11.22.08Netflix The competition genre like Spellbound or Air Guitar Nation translated to breakdancing. This follows a handful of international teams as they head toward Germany's Battle of the Year where they dance their pants off for the prestige of being the best crew in the world.

It's pretty awesome. Crazy crazy moves. It's interesting to see it on such a truly world stage now, how moves have been broken down into categories for judging just like any other dance; a real illumination of the evolution of all dances since it's still so new. Someone somewhere decided one day to move a certain way to a certain kind of song and now we have the waltz or tango or whatever. Cameras just weren't around to capture it and the creators aren't around to comment.

Anyway, good doc, fun to watch. You end up rooting for everyone. OK maybe not France.
