Gotta Kick It Up! Trailers

This was going to be the first year that Marshal Middle School was not going to have a dance team. All that changes when the new Biology teacher, Ms. Bartlett, agrees to be the coach. Now the girls need to prove that they are ready to compete and are able to win; not only to themselves, but to their parents and coach. Using the chant "si, se puede" or "yes, I can" the Dance team builds their confidence to perform.

Reviews
Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
momtothreegirls This movie sends home many messages that may seem tired to some, but as a parent I always appreciate it when we see something on TV that allows me to start up a conversation with my kids about these issues.My oldest daughter is a competitive gymnast and we saw this movie for the first time on the Disney Channel about a week before her first competition. This movie was both entertaining and a great way to help her understand the difference between being "the best" and "her best." Seeing the characters work hard to reach their goal - while still having fun - really helped her get in the right frame of mind to compete. My middle daughter is a dancer and when we watched it most recently, she enjoyed it from that view as well.When my girls see this movie advertised, they will do whatever I ask them to do to ensure they can watch the whole thing!
Jennifer Lathan I loved this movie, the story is empowering and encouraging to those that need someone to believe in them. It's important for girls to have an outlet for their creative energy. The girls have great spirit, drive, and work hard for what they want, and that can be a deadly combo. While the girls make some errors in judgment going behind the teacher's back, the teacher shouldn't have let her issues hold back her encouraging the girls to succeed! Once the coach and the girls started working together they made a great team. they show what hard work talent and determination can get you. I was very impressed with this film and it's one of my favorites
shimmering_rain16 This movie was very enjoyable, I have watched it 4 or 5 times and never have gotten bored of it. I have taped it and taken it to school with me to a Spanish class. The plot is exciting and you never know what the girls are going to do next. It takes you through their challenges of trusting one another and having faith in themselves and believing that they can do it, and that the things they want to do are best when they are worth waiting for. They also solve problems with self-esteem and social problems. One of the best solutions it shows is how the girls work together to over come their problems like for example when they don't have enough money to go to the nationals so they work together to raise money and one of the girls is failing a class so if she can add up the money they raised the teacher agreed that they would bring her mark up just enough so they should would pass. In my opinion this movie shows great team spirit and great dance moves, along with some awesome music. I recommend this movie to anyone. And if you liked this movie I recommend watching "Bring It On". It is another awesome movie about a cheerleading team and making their way through the competitions.
animalluver I saw this movie the day that it premiered and I couldn't even watch all of it. Don't ask me why, but it just gets on my nerves with the acting of the students and every thing. The most I would give this movie on a scale of 1-10 would be 1 1/2, if even that.
