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.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Casual_Observer-1 Dot.com failure brings a white computer tech to try something entirely different - teaching 9th grade biology at an inner-city school where she is also drafted to coach a mixed bag of girls for the school's dance team. Mostly unlikeable characters. These supposed 9th grade girls, with no formal dance background are molded by their reluctant new coach into talented dancers in just a few weeks. The character of the teacher wasn't believable. While wearing a bad wig with a style from the 60's, she exhibited mostly blank expressions while allowing these generally rude, disrespectful and obnoxious girls to walk all over her. The girls consistently were rewarded for awful behavior. The main character of the "tough girl" was so annoying my teenage daughter and I could hardly keep from smacking the TV set in response to her antics. All in all, we could not identify with any of the characters and felt that a bad example was set by every character including the principal! Disney - what were you thinking?
dancer24 This movie is my most favorite movie ever! I watched it the night it premiered and couldn't stop watching it. Since I've been dancing since I was 2 1/2 I loved it even more. I taped it and have watched it every night since. Call me obsessive but oh well!! I think this movie shows that if you really believe you can do something, it can happen! I mean, the movie WAS based on a true story. The movie made me realize also that friendship is something you should treasure because if you look at all the things they did in this movie, they couldn't have done it without their friends. After I saw this movie I was like "oh my god" I want to be just like them. I thought i was so cool that this was a true story. It comes to show you that, as I said before, whatever you want to succeed in life, you can do it as long as you believe in yourself first!! Before I end this, does anyone know if there's a "Gotta Kick It Up" soundtrack??? I love the songs!!!!! =)
comeoctober this movie got on my nerves. i dont like how almost the whole school is either Spanish, black, asian.....stuff like that, and the only white person is the bio teacher. also i dont like how they wear cheerleading uniforms with pom poms to dance in. my sister is in grade nine and she is on a dance team and they have to wear anything but cheerleading uniforms. i didnt like the guy chewie. and basically what i'm trying to say is this movie could have had at least more story than dancing.
stargirl11 I loved Gotta Kick it Up! It was fairly predictible, but it was soo sweet. It had more then girls just dancing around, too. I guess that Disney has no faith in their movies, because I think that this would have done great in theatres.
