The eagerly anticipated sequel to the Oscar-winning hit Happy Feet Two finds tap-dancing penguin Mumble (voice of Elijah Wood) and his pals using their smooth moves to save the penguin nation. Mumble and Gloria (voice of Pink) have started a family of their own, and their young son, Erik, is just finding his footing among his fellow emperor penguins when a dire new threat thrusts their future into jeopardy. Just when it begins to look as if all hope is lost, the penguin nation bands together to dance the darkness away.

Dein Perry, the dancer and choreographer who scored an international hit with the stage show Tap Dogs, made his debut as a film director with this drama inspired by his early days as an Australian laborer. Sean (Adam Garcia) and Mitchell (Sam Worthington) are two brothers who work at a steel mill in a rough-and-tumble area of New South Wales, Australia. Sean is a talented dancer and thinks this could be his ticket to a better life; Mitchell, however, is more practical, and tries to talk his brother into joining him as he opens a new business, leaving dancing as a hobby. Tensions grow between the brothers when Sean quits his job to study with a well-known dance troupe and come to a head when Sean and Mitchell fall for the same woman, Linda (Sophie Lee). Dein Perry also co-wrote the original story for Bootmen, as well as appearing in a small role. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This Australian dancing troupe performs routines that will definitely delight both tap fans and viewers new to this form of dancing. The performers are shown tapping while doing both basic tap sequences and a variety of unusual gymnastic routines. Great music helps make this tap video a dynamic showcase for both sight and sound. Special tap routines done on water and metal surfaces produce effects rarely seen or heard before. Many will find the performers' energy levels to be almost contagious, even though this is a taped and not a live performance. Excellent camera work and direction also make this an excellent video for anyone interested in learning more about all of the different types of dance steps.
