Step Up

2006 · TMDB 6.9

Directed by Anne Fletcher

Delinquent 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 up-and-coming dancer Nora.

Why it matters

Tyler Gage, a street dancer from the wrong side of Baltimore, lands a scholarship at a performing arts school and butts heads with the disciplined Nora. Their fusion of hip-hop and ballet becomes a new kind of rebellion.
