All Step Up Movies in Order

Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum), a rebellious street dancer, is sentenced to community service at a performing arts school, where he meets Nora (Jenna Dewan), a classically trained dancer. What follows is a clash of worlds and a discovery of talent, trust and love. The story is simple, but the chemistry between the leads, who later married, and the fresh choreography made it a worldwide hit that launched a new dance franchise.

The story shifts to Andie, a young dancer torn between discipline at school and her true home on the streets, who sets her sights on an underground dance battle called The Streets. With raw street energy, the famous rain-soaked finale and fresh choreography, it's visually more powerful than its predecessor. Reviews were mixed, but audiences loved it.

In New York, students and street crews come together for an international dance competition. What stands out most is the 3D technology: cameras fly through flips and circle around the dancers. The story isn't much deeper than before, but the visuals take it to another level, with grand, spectacular choreography.

This time the dancing moves to Miami. A group of young performers uses flash mobs as art and as protest against developers threatening their neighborhood. Dance becomes a form of resistance. With sunny images, energetic performances and emotional beats, it's a surprisingly fresh entry in the series.

A reunion of favorites from the previous films with one goal: winning a dance competition in Las Vegas. The show is big, the lights bright and the choreography flashy, but the originality has faded. Still, it's a party for fans, a group photo of everything Step Up stood for. A Chinese sequel, Step Up: Year of the Dance (2019), followed outside the core series.
