Step Up The Movie

The ‘Step Up’ movies together are most probably the biggest dance movies of all time. Hence, they constitute a series that has a universal appeal. Which obviously, makes the franchise a money-churner. The first movie in the franchise “Step Up” (2006) introduced people to a dance/romance-drama movie concept and the world of the Maryland School of Arts.

Step Up The Movie

It's two things learning something: your body has to learn something and your mind has to learn something. You've got to connect the two sometimes and one of them always remembers it more than the other. Just getting them to work together is like the big key.

Then aside from that, you learn it in like a closed environment, like in a dance studio by yourself, where it's just you and Jamal. Then they throw you out in front of people, and you're like [ nervously], ‘You all are going to be here while I'm doing this?’' It's kind of like, ‘Whoa.’ It's different than going and dancing in a club. Even in a circle in a club, I don't even like to do [that] because it's really strange.

I don't know, it's strange. You go to stand in a circle and you watch people dance. I don't know, that's nervewracking to me. It was a hard process to find Nora.

Tyler's a little easier to find, because you can kind of find an actor that - I don't know, in my mind but maybe it wasn't for them, I don't really know - knows how to dance or freestyle a little bit. But as far as like an actor that has done professional, technical stuff that you have to learn from six and on up, that was a huge, huge thing. She had to do some of the most technical stuff in the movie. Tyler's stuff, he takes the technical thing, he kind of makes it his own so it was whatever I was comfortable doing. I could manipulate mine. Hers had to be dead-on.”. “You know, I don't know if we're exactly trying to separate ourselves.

I don't think we were ever really trying to like, ‘Oh, we're going to break ground with this.’ Dancing movies are good because they have a formula, and you love them for a reason. It's always like the underdog-type thing. There are not a lot of movies that don't have the same formula nowadays, for one. But I think, if anything, if I had to pick a special thing, one) we do all of our own dancing. There's not one take in this whole movie that we're not doing our own stuff.

We didn't even have dance doubles, much less us not do it. There have been certain movies that have excelled in one thing or the other. Like there have been just movies that were incredible dance movies that had some of the most amazing dancers in LA. You're just like hypnotized by them, but some of the story could have been better. Or you have some of the other dancing movies that don't have that much dancing in them. You're like, ‘It was a great movie, but I didn't see very much dancing.’ So you're kind of torn.

But I hope that we have an even keel. I hope the story's good, and I hope that the dancing is enough and big enough. We just tried to make it really real. If anything, we didn't want to make an hour and a half long music video. We wanted to have a decent story with no gratuitous dancing. No like ‘silhouetted in the alley, it's raining for some reason now, and you’ve got your shirt off, and you're like [ roaring] slow motion’ - just for no reason, you know?

We didn't want to have that. You know, most dancing movies, you love to see those moments, no matter how much we make fun of them, I loved it. Because I was like, ‘Yeah! I want to dance in the rain! That's so cool! I love that!’ But it's not real, you know? Unless you do it on your own, which I didn't.”.
