Top 5 Dance Films, Number 4, Step Up/3d

With a struggle to separate the two, I've put both Step Up and Step Up 3D as my number 4 favourite dance movies.
Step Up, the film that began the franchise and 'introduced Channing Tatum to the world' (Vulture.com-24 Dance Movies), Step Up has become the modern Dirty Dancing classic.

Nora, played by Jenna Dewan-Tatum, a Mila Kunis similar look alike is looking for a partner for her final dance at the end of her semester in order to qualify for a dance scholarship. Tyler, Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street and Magic Mike) is a guy from the wrong end of the streets and makes a living out of stealing cars and partying. As Tyler is caught for his crimes, he is sent to an art school to get his act together.
Step Up therefore becomes a film about love and breaking the rules(similar to Havana Nights) where street dance and ballet type style combines to create a new voice.

The above picture illustrates my favourite scene, a place where Nora goes to relax and use as an escape from reality between the sea and the city. To me this scene presents freedom and the message the film is trying to convey to the spectator strongly.

Step Up 3D
My other number 4, the revolution of Step Up continues to a colourful tale of love, friendship and the message of dance and the strength it gives people no matter what their age, gender or race.
This is shown in the first opening scene of the film which also commences the film as shown in the link below.

This footage, documentary style one of my favourite pieces of dance movie footage as it combines the spectators as well as the characters on screen and reminds people why they dance and why they should and shouldn't hesitate, creating a question for everyone to think about.
Step Up 3, 2010 also has the advantage that the other films listed haven't had and that's the technology evolution where not only is it filmed in 3D and IMAX but the technology is also shown in the best final dance. With friendly characters (the constant reoccurring Moose), a combination of those from Step Up 2:The Streets gang and a all powerful message that dance brings people together and gives them a voice, this movie couldn't be put to 5th.
