Save The Last Dance (2001)Īfter failing a ballet dance audition and learning about her mother’s fatal accident, Sara Johnson (Julia Stiles) gives up on dancing. Both the movies run on similar lines since Tyler Gage ( Channing Tatum in ‘Step Up’) also gets an opportunity of a lifetime helping him earn a scholarship while chasing his dream of dancing. What follows is hard work and undying practice to get into the high school’s elite dance team and gain her entry pass to Duke.

She, who is passionate about dancing, trains with a dance crew who has been accused of crime and harassment. ‘Step Up 2: The Streets’ also follows a street dancer who, after the death of her mother, moves to live with her best friend.
The movie examines how each of them deals with stress in the world of dance.
This film explores the struggles in the world of professional dance when a group of young dancers enrolls in the fictitious American Ballet Academy.
