Step Up 2

It’s not where you’re from. It’s where you’re at.

The follow-up to the smash box-office hit STEP UP takes the story of urban street-dancing to the next stage with an electrifying new story of bodies, hearts and dreams in motion. Rebellious newcomer Andie (BRIANA EVIGAN) is an outcast trying to fit in at the elite Maryland School of the Arts while still holding on to her old dream of dancing with an underground Baltimore street crew. The school’s hottest talent Chase (ROBERT HOFFMAN) is a rising star who’s looking to break out of his mold – by forming a crew to compete in Baltimore’s biggest, most raw street dancing battle, “The Streets.” Now, as Chase joins forces with Andie, the two simultaneously clash and sizzle, sending Andie’s two worlds into collision. With the pressure heating up on the dance floor and in her life, she must learn to build a bridge between love and loyalty, between freedom and opportunity, between who she is and who she believes she can be.

Driven by hypnotic dance, music and break-out performances like its predecessor; STEP UP 2 THE STREETS features the directorial debut of up-and-comer Jon M. Chu. With an exciting cast of youthful newcomers, many of whose personal stories of rough-hewn talent and hard-won achievement mirror their characters in the film, the film also reunites much of the production team behind the original film, including STEP UP’s cutting-edge hip-hop choreographer Jamal Sims, who is joined this time by leading choreographers Nadine “Hi Hat” Ruffin (dubbed “hip-hop’s high diva of dance”) and Dave Scott (“Stomp the Yard”). Patrick Wachsberger & Erik Feig of Summit Entertainment produce with Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot of Offspring Entertainment. The executive producers are Bob Hayward, David Nicksay, Anne Fletcher, and Meredith Milton. The screenplay is written by Toni Ann Johnson and Karen Barna, based on characters created by Duane Adler.

The film stars a multi-talented cast who performed all their own dancing including Briana Evigan, Robert Hoffman (“She’s The Man,” “You Got Served”), and Will Kemp (“Van Helsing”). Also starring is singer/model/actress Cassie Ventura, Sonja Sohn, Adam G. Sevani, Telisha Shaw, Danielle Polanco and Black Thomas, along with a supporting cast of gifted street dancers discovered in extensive auditions, with many making their feature film debuts.

Accompanied by a soundtrack to be released on Atlantic Records, STEP UP 2 THE STREETS features wall-to-wall rap, hip-hop and R&B, including the smash hit “Low” by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain, plus new singles and videos from T-Pain, Missy Elliott, Enrique Iglesias, Trey Songz featuring Plies, Plies featuring Akon, Cassie, Cherish featuring Yung Joc and more.
