2008 American film
Step Up 2: The Streets is a 2008 American dance film directed by Jon M. Chu in his feature directorial debut and written by Toni Ann Johnson and Karen Barna. The sequel to Step Up (2006) and the second installment in the Step Up film series, it stars Briana Evigan, Robert Hoffman, Will Kemp, and Cassie Ventura.
Once again set at the fictional Maryland School of the Arts, the story revolves around rebellious teenage street dancer Andie West (Evigan), who lands at the elite school and finds herself fighting to fit in while also trying to hold onto her old life. She eventually joins forces with the school's hottest dancer Chase Collins (Hoffman) to form a crew of classmate outcasts to compete in Baltimore's underground dance battle The Streets, finding a way to live her dream while building a bridge between her two separate worlds.
Released in the United States on February 14, 2008, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, although the reviews were better than those for its predecessor, but became a box office success, grossing $150.8 million worldwide against a production budget of $17.5 million.
A sequel, Step Up 3D, was released in August 2010.
