If you're looking for a movie with limited dialogue, little character development, a loose plot line, pointless relationships, and some amazing dance moves, then "Step Up 2 the Streets" is what you've been searching for.

"Step up 2 the streets" is about a street dancer, Andie (Briana Evigan), who is training for a dance competition with her "dance crew." The competition is known as "the streets" and it encompasses multiple dance crews who come to show off their best break-dance moves.

Andie winds up auditioning for and attending the Maryland School of Arts where she meets Chase Collins (Robert Hoffman), a popular break-dancer. The two hit it off quickly, and from an audience member's perspective, it's easy to see where this relationship is going.

The problem begins when Andie is thrown out of her dance crew and forced to form a new one with a few rejected dancers from her school, in order to compete in "the streets" competition.

"Step Up 2 the Streets" is just a showcase for choreography. It's not an award-winning, meaningful film but, for a dance movie, it definitely does it's job.
