I don't know if I've mentioned it on here, but I really love to dance. It's a passion of mine and brings me immense joy. The Step Up movie series showcases a whole crap ton of dancing. These movies follow different groups of dancers who know each other one way of the other. The premise of each movie is that the group decides that they want to form a crew and compete at some competition. The crew works really hard at a combination (dance) and rehearses a whole ton. Then, at some part the crew faces some sort of difficult challenge that sets them back and won't let them compete. But after hard work they somehow find a way to compete. At the competition they kick the other teams butts (would've used a stronger word but some readers might now appreciate that) and win the competition.
But lets skip through the boring parts. Easily, the best part of the movies are the dance numbers aka when they are dancing. Not only can the actors act, but they are also really good dancers, of course. To me there is nothing better than watching a good dancer do what they do best. Plus, it totally helps that many of the dancers/actors are extremely good looking. But the worst part about this new Step Up movie obsession is that they aren't even new. Step Up came out in 2006, Step Up 2: The Streets came out in 2008, Step Up 3D came out in 2010, Step Up Revolution (MY FAVORITE) came out in 2012, and finally Step Up: All In came out in 2014, already two years old.
So basically what I'm trying to say here is, I am a totally obsessed when it comes to dance movies. As a matter of fact, Step Up Revolution is the movie that inspired me to get back into dancing, after my eight year "break." In all actuality, I quit dancing because I hated it so much- not dancing as a whole, just Ballet and putting makeup on for the recitals. That was very off topic. Anyways, as a conclusion I'd like to say that my Step Up movie obsession is what I would like to think of as a reflection of my love for dance.
