Step Up 3D is the third film in a line of entertaining dance films. This film highlights many different styles
of dance such as hip hop, latin, jazz, break dancing, popping, locking and krumping. These dance
sequences are amazing on their own; however, in 3D these moves are astounding and the audience is
transported to the world of street dancing. Luke (Rick Malambri) and his dance crew, the Pirates, live and
dance together in a flat above Luke’s dance club. Facing foreclosure the Pirates recruit two new
members to help them win the dance competition and the $100,000 prize. Luke’s real passion is
filmmaking and throughout the movie he films his friends and fellow crew members describing why they
dance and what dance means to them. This is very empowering because it allows the audience to
connect with these dancers on a personal level. The script may be a little lacking but it doesn’t pretend to
be anything other than a dance movie..
