” This brisk nonfiction feature directed by Benson Lee makes his case showing international teams of break dancers — or b-boys — battling to win best-in-the-nation status in their home countries then going on to compete in the 2005 world finals at the Volkswagenhalle in Braunschweig Germany. After a prologue sketching break dancing’s rise and fall in 1980s America and its subsequent international embrace Mr. Lee tracks teams from several countries as they devise and perfect their routines. Certain nationalities are known for particular strengths: the French for their muscular expressiveness the Japanese for their innovative choreography the Koreans for their technical excellence and conceptual boldness. (One of the two Korean teams competing in the world finals retells the history of North and South Korea in dance. ) Nagging flaws keep this documentary from realizing its potential.
