Fleur (Cherry Ngan), who used to spend time working at her parents’ tofu restaurant is now a member of BombA, a hip-hop dance group at her university. A chance encounter brings her in touch with Tai Chi, a traditional martial art that local elders usually practice for its health benefits. She soon finds innovative ways to incorporate the movement vocabulary of the ancient form into her dance. But just when she is ready to challenge another group on the dance floor, her foot is severely injured in an accident. Will she persevere?
The low-budget THE WAY WE DANCE became a surprise hit in the Hong Kong box office. It injected the local film industry with a breath of fresh and youthful air that has recently swept across Chinese screens with such films as So Young (Zhao Wei, 2013) and You Are the Apple of My Eye (Giddens Ko, 2011). Lead actress Ngan is nominated for the 50th Taipei Golden Horse Film Awards in the Best Actress category for this film.
