Evicted from her apartment and with her dreams apparently dashed, she returns home and agrees to train a group of young girls at the New Hope Dance Studio, hoping to reach the National competition in Atlantic City and perform in front of Broadway icon Welly Wong (Rex Lee). Directed by Elissa Down, the Netflix movie follows a wannabe Broadway star who finds new direction in coaching a group of misfit kids from her home town.įeel the Beat stars Sofia Carson ( Descendants) as April Dibrina, a New York City chorus dancer who goes viral after accidentally pushing Broadway legend Ruth Zimmer (Pamela MacDonald) off a stage. The soundtrack for Feel the Beat features plenty of pop hits to complement its dance competition story.
