Dancing Queen

A famous hip-hop dancer moves to the town where 12-year-old Mina lives. The girl falls head over heels in love with him. When the boy launches auditions for his dance crew, the girl decides to learn dancing to attract his attention.

Mina is a rather shy, high-flyer student, who loves spending time with her best friend Markus. A new, handsome boy has just moved to her town. E.D. Win is one of the best young hip-hop dancers in Norway, and a popular social media personality. The girl is smitten with the newcomer. When he starts forming a new dance group in her school, she signs up immediately, even though… she can’t dance. Fortunately, her grandma, a former dancer herself, is going to help Mina. Sadly, the girl starts experiencing peer pressure – she’s no longer satisfied with the way her body looks, goes on a diet, and begins dressing differently. She will doubt her abilities for a while, but with her perseverance and the support from her close ones, the girl will understand how important it is to be yourself.
