High Strung Will Premiere Next Week
It’s happeningggggggggg!
Back in our July/August issue, we introduced you to the fantastic stars of the dancetastic film High Strung—or, rather, re-introduced you, since you knew Keenan Kampa and Ian Eastwood pretty darn well already.

Now the film—which follows the artistically-charged lives of a brilliant violinist, a gorgeous classical dancer (that’d be Kampa) and an innovative hip-hop crew (including Eastwood and Comfort Fedoke)—finally has a premiere date. Next Saturday, February 6, High Strung will make its official debut at the prestigious Santa Barbara International Film Festival. And in happy news for non-Californians, it’s also slated for wider release in April. Which means there’s a solid chance its dance-y goodness is coming to a theater near you very, very soon.
We’ve seen a screening of the film already, so you can trust us when we say it’s a) kind of a delightful mash-up of Center Stage and Step Up, and b) the best thing to hit the dance movie scene since…well, Center Stage and Step Up.
