Why watch?
“Dancing Queen was a hit at LYFF 2024, and hip hop dancer Mina is back, this time in Hollywood! After Mina and Markus win a trip to LA to star in a music video, things are a little different to the lives they’re used to in Norway. Dealing with first loves, self-confidence and awkward parents, can Mina deal with the stress of the Hollywood lifestyle and get her big break in a major film? A wonderful sequel to Aurora Gossé’s 2023 debut, but also a brilliant standalone film, Dancing Queen in Hollywood is an energetic comedy that’s sure to be a hit with all young aspiring stars. Dancing Queen 2 in Hollywood will also be accompanied by dancer Holly Gibbs, with a fun and interactive introduction offering a behind-the-scenes look at how TikTok dance trends, music videos and dance films are made.”
