Area Info
Andie West wants to be a street dancer, aiming to win the infamous and illegal competition called "The Streets" with the group 410, but is kicked out when she is forced to pay more attention to school. However, she manages to form a new, own crew at MSA, but nothing quite goes as planned and eventually Andie is kicked out of school, even forced to pack up her stuff to be shipped of to her aunts due to her behavior. At her last night, and the night of an important MSA event, "The Streets" are announced and the crew decides to take a chance, pick up Andie and show the neighborhood who's the best dance group.
Uncovered:
I liked the characters very much, probably because there were so many different personalities among them. I liked seeing how they all came together. And the acting was alright, although the cast wasn't anything remarkable. Well, besides Andie. She was real eye candy, and I liked her whole style. The story was good too, although nothing like the first movie, but it had still something important to tell. And I just LOVED that final dance.

That final dance was epic. This is my fave Step Up movie because I loved that they danced salsa (one of my fave things to do). It was great. Awesome review, Caro 🙂
If you love Latino dance, very much like me ;), you should watch StreetDance 2 that I discovered just a week ago! THAT's Salsa for you!
