Dance Flick is a 2009 American parody comedy movie directed by Damien Dante Wayans, written by many of the Wayans family, and starring Shoshana Bush and Damon Wayans, Jr.. The film is a spoof of the popular dance film genre. It was set for release in North America on February 6, 2009. It was moved, however, to August 2009 and then to May 22, 2009.
Suburban girl Megan (Shoshana Bush) gets into a series of misadventures when she moves to the inner-city and pursues dance. A nerdy street boy named Thomas (Damon Wayans, Jr.) is passionate about street dancing, but he is stuck working for a hungry obese gang lord (David Alan Grier) who only loves food. Megan later befriends Thomas' ghetto sister Charity (Essence Atkins) who has a baby but also poor parenting skills. Charity has her own issues dealing with her dimwitted "baby daddy" (Shawn Wayans) who also is a bad parent. Once Megan and Thomas spend more time together, they become dance partners and begin to fall in love and start dating.
