Step Up (2006), 7

PG-13 | 1h 44min | Crime, Drama, Music | 11 August 2006
Tyler Gage receives the opportunity of a lifetime after vandalizing a performing arts school, gaining him the chance to earn a scholarship and dance with an up and coming dancer, Nora.
Director: Anne Fletcher
Stars: Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan, Damaine Radcliff.
Anne Fletcher ... choreographer
Rosero McCoy ... choreographer
Jamal Sims ... choreographer
Zachary Woodlee ... assistant choreographer

Watched online, mediocre print.

33 songs in the Soundtracks.

Ballet meets b-boy, and even the rehearsal footage is good, and the final production is close to excellent. This is one to watch for the dancing.

The story is tough, with a character getting killed in a drive-by, 

Note Jenna Dewan is the dancing star (and principal character) here, and also the dancing star in Take the Lead (2006).

Rated 6.5 (102,680)

Touchstone & more, dir. Fletcher; 7
