Dancing Queen 2 in Hollywood
PG
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.”

New independent films at LYFF!
Mina and Markus might not have won the big prize at their first dance competition, but they did get a great consolation prize to fly to LA! With the rest of their dance crew in tow, they discover Hollywood is tougher than they thought. Mina needs to deal with more challenging choreography, the pressures of acting auditions and the breakup of her parents. Dancing Queen in Hollywood is an upbeat, sparkling tale about stepping out of your comfort zone and challenging expectations.
