Luke: [from trailer] What is it that you love about dance?::Natalie: Everything you need to know is in my dancing.::Luke: Everything?
Luke: [from trailer] You up for a little competition?::Natalie: I never lose.
Moose: [from trailer] People dance because dance can change things. One move, can bring people together. One move, can make you believe like there's something more. One move, can set a whole generation free.
Luke: [from trailer] Some people learn to dance... Others are born to.
Luke: [from trailer] Welcome to my house.
Moose: I was born to be the Ashley to your Mary-Kate.
Jason: I was born from a boom box.
Moose: You know, some famous guy once said: "To Travel is better than to arrive." And I was like, "What?" Because I used to think that there was only one path to take to where you want to be in life. But, if you choose that one path, it doesn't mean you have to abandon all the other ones.I realize it actually what happens along the way that counts; the stumbles, the falls, and the friendships. It's the journey and not the destination. You just gotta, I guess, trust that the future is gonna work itself out like it's supposed to.
Moose: One move can give a skinny, curly haired kid hope... hope that he's something special.

Lil Jon formed the group in 1997, and the group released several albums between then and 2004. He then went solo and released a new album in 2010 called Crunk Rock.
Lil' Jon was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from Frederick Douglass High School.

Both singles charted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 70 and No. 62 respectively.

Here's your invitation
For your consideration
Nothins' easy, we'll go slow
I'll never ask for anything more
Than you can give me in return
We'll never know for sure
What we will find if we don't try
On the other side
Oh, we'll take our time
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
Oh, get rid of it
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
And I won't let you fall, no
Let's have a conversation
Talk about our situation
Embrace the night, don't let go
No one else has to know
Understand a little more
What feelin' somebody is good for
Stay with me the whole night through
There's nothin' good as lovin' you
When daylight breaks I'll love you more
Than I did before
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
Oh, get rid of it baby
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
And I won't let you fall, no
There's no expectations
Just give into temptation
Bend just a little bit
Get rid of it baby
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
Oh, get rid of it baby
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
And I won't let you fall, no
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
Get rid of it baby
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
And I won't let you fall
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
And I won't let you fall
Bend just a little bit
Break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit
I am not my family tree
These are different leaves, you know
There are miles and miles between
My roots and what I'm tryin' to grow
I am not the slave they sold
Nor am I royalty
I've worn them both
The finest coat,
And rags that barely covered me
But there's mercy in the soil
Mercy in the sun
Learnin' to forgive
What cannot be undone
What was meant to harm
Can't harm you in the end
Stepped out on a limb I thought my break
But love said,
It will only bend
I am not my past mistakes
Labeled by some place in time
Nor am I a trophy case
Tryin' to maintain my shine
I have dreamed a thousand dreams
Watch a grain in famine grow
I am not my family tree
I have branches of my own
But there's mercy in the soil
Mercy in the sun
Learnin' to forgive
What cannot be undone
And what was meant to harm
Can't harm you in the end
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
But love said,
It will only bend
Oh, Does fate resign us too?
Find shelter for our wounds
Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams
Oh, But I will choose to stand
In the shadow of Your hand
And see what grows when grace has sown the seed
Oh, oh, oh
These are different leaves, you know
Oh, oh, oh
But there's mercy in the soil
Mercy in the sun
Learnin' to forgive
What cannot be undone
And what was meant to harm
Can't harm you in the end
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
But love said,
It will only bend
It will only bend
It will only bend
Here I am talking to the walls again
Cause you won't let me in.
So I'll wait. So damn polite.
Prides a big waste of time.
Don't you know nobody wins?
If you could bend a little I would try a little
Can't you see that it's the heart of love
That heals the pain a little if we believe
Maybe it could be better than it's ever been
Maybe we could learn to bend.
We've been here visited by troubles before
Like strangers who won't leave.
So hold on, don't run for that door
Make me love you even more
Baby, won't you turn to me?
If you could bend a little I would try a little
Can't you see that it's the heart of love
That heals the pain a little if we believe
Maybe it'll be better than a dream again
Maybe we could learn to bend.
We're all in need of some repair
Like water through storms (?)
We'll find our way there.
If you could bend a little I would try a little
Can't you see that it's the heart of love
It heals the pain a little if we believe
Maybe it'll be better than a dream again
Maybe we could learn to bend.
if you do not bend you will eventually break
unless you make the wind stop blowing your way
we were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws
only i was willing to stop and listen to yours
you say you do not want me because i want too much
and i almost let you patronise me one last time
but i don't want too much i just want more than you've got
so the lack is not with either, we are merely a different size
don't forget regret it is a waste of an emotion
and acceptance is the key to peace, do not try to defy her
no i'm not sad we met and slept together in the same bed
i bent, i curved, i lent, i learnt, i'm stronger
you did not do me wrong, in fact you did me right
to let me go although i felt so broken
for you did not see the heart of me - perhaps you were too lazy
and though i tried i could not gain the heart of you either
so now its done and i am glad that i will find another man
though you will always be the first i tasted
and i will harness all this pain and let it bear me far away
i would not let this happening be wasted
if you do not bend you will eventually break
unless you make the wind stop blowing away
and we were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws
When the storm comes
Will you reject the rain
If it falls not soft
If it falls not tame?
When the wind blows
And calls your name
Will you run in fear
Will you hide in shame?
Are you strong enough to bend?
Yes, don't stand against the wind
Cos you know you're gonna break
When ages comes
Will you call my name
Will you cut me down
Just to ease your pain?
When truth comes
Will you accept the blame?
Cos history will teach us
We were all on those plains
Are you strong enough to bend?
Don't stand against the wind
Cos you know you're gonna break
When love comes
Will you release the rain
Will you change the world
To the song you sang?
Or when the smoke clears
Will your hope remain
To make some peace
On this land you claim?
Are you strong enough to bend?
Don't stand against the wind
Cos you know you're gonna break
When the storm comes
Will you reject the rain
If it falls not soft
