Short description
Honey Daniels dreams of making a name for herself as a hip-hop choreographer. When she's not busy hitting downtown clubs with her friends, she teaches dance classes at a nearby community center in Harlem, N.Y., as a way to keep kids off the streets. Honey thinks she's hit the jackpot when she meets a hotshot director casts her in one of his music videos. But, when he starts demanding sexual favors from her, Honey makes a decision that will change her life.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is set in New York, but it was filmed in Toronto, Canada.
- Preparing for filming, Jessica Alba spent 3 months taking dance lessons (specifically hip-hop) and studying jazz for 6 hours a day.
- The second scene in the nightclub was filmed without any background music, so the patrons danced however they pleased.
- During filming, Lil Romeo grew 5 centimeters and his voice changed noticeably. In some scenes, he had to stand with his legs spread to appear shorter, as he had already grown to be the same height as Jessica Alba.
- The story of Loriann Gibson, a dancer and choreographer who appeared in the film as the main character's rival, served as inspiration for the film's creators.
- The main role in the film was written for the singer and actress Aaliyah. She even agreed to participate in the filming, but tragically died in August 2001.
- The source of inspiration for the creators of the film was the story of Laurie Ann Gibson, a dancer and choreographer who appeared in the film as the rival of the main character.
