Review of Step Up

Step Up (2006)
7/10
great harmonization of two different worlds
28 January 2021
Music and choreography in 'Step Up' are one of the best in quality and in entertainment perspective. Not only the senior showcase piece at the ending, but choreography throughout the movie is also well coordinated such as 'Till the Dawn' in the club and 'Show Me the Money' in opening credits.

What impresses me the most is that two genres come together to create synergy, so much better than when one stands alone. This perfect coexistence is not only in story but also in music and choreography. Rich girl and poor boy; classic and hip-hop; and ballet/jazz dance and street/freestyle dance. Great harmonization in music and choreography is significant because they resemble, symbolize, and signify the relationship between protagonists.

I also want to compliment the chemistry between two actors while I also want to point out the story's resemblance with 'Save the Last Dance' and too many coincidences.
