comic strip The love story of an Underdog Ballerina, Bebe a.k.a Special B
The Wayans Brothers, with their anticipated release of Dance Flick, aren’t the only ones who’ve recognized the need for a little parody when it comes to dance movies. The rampant use of ridiculous clichés and unimaginative plot lines doesn’t leave anyone guessing why the bulk of dance movies have become box office flops. Movmnt pays tribute to the Wayans brothers in our very own dance movie parody... comic strip. Pick your character, live the journey, and see if you can recognize the movies whose clichés we’ve deemed parody worthy.
Anfrony watches Bebe, his secret love who lusts for another, from afar...
Oh Professor! I must confess...
Nobody puts Bebe in the corner... ...I’m a stripper... I must raise $22,235.65 for a dance program for troubled, yet brilliantly talented children.
And I love you!
I just can’t be associated with you anymore. You just don’t have the feet to be a real dancer, and a size 2 is just TOO big. So use it, whatever you feel, just dance it.
I feel...
Later that night in a club
Stop!

You ‘bout to get served!
Boombaloo Crew’s Rivals, the 520, see Anfrony and Bebe as a threat to the street competition.
If you enter this competition, you are never allowed into my dance academy ever again.
And I’ll personally see to it that you never dance professionally!
The night before the competition
Oh, no! Chickin’ Fingers yet brilliantly talented kids got his pinky shot off already knows the and now is unable to routine!

What are we going to do?
At the competition...
It is a tough call for the judges but Bebe, Anfrony and the Boogaloo Crew’s “unique”
style steals the hearts of everyone present. Who did you think was going to win?
The money went to building a dance studio for underpriviledged children, with some change to spare...
Anfrony starred in an off-off-off Broadway performance to pay for his mother’s rehab.
And Bebe is offered a principal role at the pretigious Universal Ballet Theatre.
