Dancing, spinning and leaping onto the small screen, Step Up 2: The Streets is the sizzling sequel to the 2006 smash hit Step Up. It was the biggest UK dance film opening ever and is now available to own and rent on DVD from 14th July 2008.
In this explosive follow up, classical classroom meets modern-day dance when a rebellious street dancer attempts to find a way to follow her dreams through building a bridge between two very separate worlds.
A star-fuelled, energising soundtrack featuring chart favourites like ‘Low’ by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain ignites the film as we are once again invited down the toe-tapping corridors of the Maryland School of Performing Arts.
An exclusive ‘Double the dance’ box set is also available consisting of Step Up: Special Edition and Step Up 2: The Streets.
The Step Up: Special Edition features never-been-seen footage including deleted scenes, commentaries, dance routines plus the hottest music videos from top urban acts like Sean Paul, Ciara, Chamillionaire and Chris Brown.
In the film, orphan teenage-rebel Andie (Briana Evigan) is pursuing her dream of becoming a respected dancer by rehearsing religiously with her notorious street dance troupe, the 410 crew.
However following the crew’s latest public disturbance, Andie is set an ultimatum by her interfering foster mother: turn her life around in Baltimore or give up everything she loves to start a new life with her aunt in Texas.
As Andie’s life appears to hit rock bottom, a flying visit from friend and older brother figure Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum, Step Up) brings a much needed ray of hope. He persuades her to improve her lot by auditioning for the Maryland School of Arts, the very same place that inspired him to better his life.
Once accepted by the school, Andie battles to fit in whilst still trying to hold onto her old life. Eventually school commitments take precedence and she finds herself abandoned by her once close knit crew, the 410.
Determined Andie teams up with Chase Collins (Robert Hoffman), the school’s hottest dancer and brother to Blake Collins, the school’s traditional and close-minded director, to form their own dance crew amongst their talented classmates. The aim? To challenge at ‘The Streets’, Baltimore’s elite underground dance battle and fulfil Andie’s lifelong dream.
