"Battle of the Year" discuss just how the remainder of the globe has welcomed b-boy culture, but exactly how they're no much longer perceived as chopping edge or cool in the United States.
That worries the Sean Combs-like impresario, Dante (Laz Alonso): "How lengthy prior to hip-hop isn't really cool down?".
He has to secure his popular music, style and dancing empire by putting American b-boys back on top. He employs an aged dancing friend, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread"), now a grieving, alcoholic ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost"). W.B. has to get himself up to speed on the current state of dance, after that recruit and coach a "dream team" of the finest of America's ideal to tackle the other world, which has actually passed America by and long dominated the annual b-boy Olympics understood as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.

"You appear like a gazelle out there," he praises his employer. "A gazelle with arthritis." Which, while it doesn't explain the film, does hit this genre right in the bull's eye. Then, the beauty of "Step Up" and all its tired imitators is that the viewers they're capturing for has no concept that there have been 20 or 30 flicks specifically like this one that came prior to it.
He has to safeguard his dancing, music and style empire by putting American b-boys back on leading. He works with an old dancing pal, W.B. (for "Wonder Bread"), now a grieving, sprituous ex-basketball coach (Josh Holloway of "Lost"). W.B. has to get himself up to quicken on the present state of dancing, then sponsor and coach a "dream group" of the ideal of America's finest to take on the remainder of the globe, which has passed America by and long dominated the annual b-boy Olympics understood as "BOTY," the Battle of the Year.
