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.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was director Bille Woodruff's theatrical debut after years helming music videos for Toni Braxton and Britney Spears—hence the visual energy.
The film was a modest hit but became a cult touchstone for millennial Black culture; it launched a direct-to-DVD franchise and briefly made 'choreographer' a viable career aspiration in early 2000s teen dreams.
