Step Up 2: Dancing in the streets

This sequel is as entertaining as its predecessor. Youthful and spirited, the film’s energetic pace along with some fabulous choreography makes it thoroughly enjoyable.

The heroine of this story is Andie (Briana Evigan), an orphaned 16-year-old street dancer who lives in Baltimore with her deceased mother’s friend. Andie is a part of a street dancing gang called 401, a notorious crew that stages musical pranks in public places and competes in dance contests at clubs.

Not too happy with her lifestyle, Andie’s guardian wants to send her to live with her aunt in Texas. But Andie desperately wants to stay back. In order to do so, she enrols in a formal dance school where she meets Chase (Robert Hoffman), a dance legend who likes street dancing. Andie’s total commitment to her new school gets her kicked out of her old dance crew, but no problem. She forms a new crew with Chase to take part in street dance competitions.

Briana puts in a wonderful performance as Andie. The main cast rounds it off with strong performances. The film’s pace is good and so is the music with some hot hip-hop by Flo Rida, Missy Elliot and T-Pain.
