Turn the Beat Around is an MTV original film produced by MTV and Paramount Pictures. It is loosely based upon the 1983 film Flashdance.
Plot
It focuses around a 21-year-old woman named Zoe (played by Romina D'Ugo) who dreams of becoming a famous dancer similar to her idol Malika (played by Brooklyn Sudano) and she persuades a local dance club owner Michael Krasny (played by David Giuntoli) to open a disco-themed danceclub. Zoe's rather unsupportive boyfriend Chris (played by Adam T. Brooks) doesn't approve of their partnership. The film features original music performed by Just Kait and Jason Derülo.
