“Our decision to archive our Twitter account was not an easy one,” the office said in a statement. The account, which went by the handle no longer exists on Twitter.

Otherwise, sit it out.The Los Angeles county district attorney’s office said Thursday it has left Twitter due to barrage of “vicious” homophobic attacks that were not removed by the social media platform even after they were reported. If you’re a dance fan, suspend judgment and go for a whirl. The Talauega brothers - whose clients include Madonna, Chris Brown and Jennifer Lopez - also recently worked on Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour. The dancers’ talents are undeniable, though, while the Latin routines by Cuban choreographer Maykel Fonts and the hip-hop sequences by Rich and Tone Talauega are remarkably entertaining. But when trying to one-up another dancer, nothing is showier than a salsa dancer wearing a girl around his waist like she’s a human Hula Hoop. The first film combined ballet dancers with hip hoppers, which created a fun and gimmicky contrast. (Eva has more chemistry with veteran screen and stage actor Tom Conti, who appears here as her uncle.) Salsa and street dance, however, make for a natural mash-up since salsa originated in the streets and Eva’s underground Latin club is as urban and gritty as any abandoned warehouse or parking lot. Next to Eva, Ash is about as hot-blooded as sea bass, which makes their love affair unconvincing. What does look good in 3D is back flips and other aerial moves, of which there is no shortage in what is essentially a string of music videos with some corny dialogue: “Dance with your heart, not with your head,” Eva tells Ash.

Boutella, a hip hop dancer off-screen, performed with Madonna and is a Nike spokeswoman - her presence requires no 3D. Algeria-born, Paris-raised Sofia Boutella plays the fiery salsa dancer that Ash hopes will give his crew the winning edge. The one dancer that audiences won’t forget, because she is the best thing going for this movie, is Eva. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. This is what their album cover would look like. For example, when Ash introduces his multicultural crew, they’re lined up against a bar in perfect symmetry with pursed lips, crossed arms and crooked fedoras. While their names flash on-screen, you subsequently forget them because they’re not actually characters - characters have personalities and back stories - they’re merely dancers.

Within 10 minutes, Ash and Eddie have convinced about a dozen b-boys and b-girls to converge in Paris. They apparently have ample travel funds but limited time: eight weeks - or 90 minutes - to put together a crew to take on Invincible in the film’s big finale. So to redeem himself, he and his manager Eddie ( Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson, reprising his role from the first film) criss-cross Europe curating the streets for talent.
