In the next months two amazing dance movies are going to hit the screens! And there will be another classic on the way….

Step Up 2, The Streets will be released on Australian Big Screens on Thursday March 20th.

A sequel to the box office hit, Step Up, released in 2006, Step Up 2 is a street dance version of the original. Produced by Touchstone Pictures (Disney) Step Up 2 stars a rebellious street dancer called Andie, played by Briana Evigan, who finds herself at the elite Maryland School of the Arts. Fighting to fit in and trying to hold onto her old life at the same time, Andie joins forces with the school’s hottest dancer, Chase, played by Robert Hoffman, to form a dance group of classmate outcasts. Romantic sparks fly between the two characters. Competing in Baltimore’s underground dance battle 'The Streets', Andie ultimately finds that she can live her dream whilst building a bridge between her two separate worlds.

Featuring the directorial debut of award-winning Jon M. Chu, Step Up 2 The Streets reunites much of the production team behind the original film, including  cutting-edge hip-hop choreographer Jamal Sims, who is joined this time by choreographers Hi-Hat and Dave Scott, from Stomp the Yard.

How She Move will hit Australian cinemas on Thursday April 10th.

Another street dancing movie, How She Move is for Steppers everywhere! Following her sister's death from a drug overdose, high school student Raya, played by Rutina Wesley, is forced to leave her private school to return to her old, crime-filled neighborhood. Her sister's troubles drained the family income, so Raya must go to the local public school until she can win a scholarship or make some money. Raya learns that other kids in her neighbourhood are earning cash by winning step competitions, so she gets involved to gain the finances she so desperately needs. Re-kindling an unlikely passion for step dancing Raya has to decide which team to join. Will she join the all-girls group headed by her longtime neighbour Michelle, played by Tre Armstrong, the boys' team managed by her friend Bishop, played by

Dwain Murphy, or the leading competition team ruled by the guy who led her sister astray?

And for the ballet lovers,  Center Stage 2 is in production!

Center Stage was such a hit, and is a favourite movie of dancers everywhere. Ethan Stiefel will return as Copper Nielson, and this time will not only dance, but teach. The story written by Karen Bloch and directed by Stephen Jacobson is bound to be amazing. The movie follows Kate Parker, played by Rachele Smith who is an ambitious young dancer. She moves from a small town to New York to enroll in the prestigious American Ballet Academy, but must contend with scornful fellow students who look down on her passion for hip hop. Featuring inspirational dancing, Center Stage 2 is currently being filmed in Vancouver. The much anticipated release date is yet to be determined…
