Reception

Breaking Through received mostly negative reviews. Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter called it derivative. Tat Wolfen from Saturday Star wrote that it was "yet another dance movie that has nothing new to offer". Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times called it "a dance movie without good dancing". Monica Castillo writing in The Village Voice said it was "convoluted drama" and had " tepid routines". David Noh of Film Journal International thought it "could well rank as the blandest movie musical ever made." On the positive side Sandie Angulo Chen of Common Sense Media gave it three stars, saying the story was "both familiar and heartwarming".
