Step Up is a 2006 dance/romance film directed by Anne Fletcher starring Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan.
The movie follows the tale of the disadvantaged Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) and the privileged ballet dancer Nora Clark (Jenna Dewan), who find themselves paired up in a showcase that determines both of their futures. Realizing that they only have one chance, they finally work together.
PLOT owing a party, Mac (Damaine Radcliff) and Skinny Carter (De'Shawn Washington) and their friend Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum), accidentally smash a window and so break into the Maryland School of Arts and decide to take a look around. After damaging many of the props in the school's theatre, the security guard appears, Tyler helps the other two escape and takes the fall.
Tyler is sentenced to 200 hours of community service, which he has to serve at the school. His foster parents are not too worried as he has always been in some kind of trouble before. While working at the Maryland School of Arts, he watches a dance class and meets Nora Clark (Jenna Dewan). Later, while taking the mickey out of the ballet dancers and mixing it with his break-dance/street dance moves, Nora watches him and realizes how talented he is.
Nora's dance partner sprains his ankle, leaving Nora without a partner. After auditioning some other students, she finds none of them good enough, so Tyler offers to help. At first Nora refuses, however, she changes her mind and convinces Director Gordon (Rachel Griffiths) to allow Tyler to rehearse with her.
Tyler asks Gordon to let him in, but she says no, for the moment. So they decide to use the showcase as his audition. However, Tyler and Nora's relationship ends when Nora's dance partner returns, and Tyler is no longer needed. After Skinny is shot dead, Mac realizes he needs to make better choices in his life and convinces Tyler the same.
Then, Nore breaks up with her boyfriend and dance partner, as he cheats one of their friends. Nora is left without a partner and decides to go solo for her senior showcase. However, the routine is not as good as the one she had with Tyler, and she knows it will not get her into any dance troupes, which, as she has focused on her dancing rather than her education, will be disastrous. Before the showcase starts, Tyler shows up and offers to dance with her. Nora accepts and the showcase goes exceedingly well, ending with the two making up, and both being offered places in professional dance troupes.
