As the name indicates, this was the first film in the series to be shot in 3D, with a number of sequences designed to take advantage of technology. However, problems arise when Luke discovers his teammate and love interest Natalie is not all she appears to be. Luke enlists Moose as a member of his crew in preparation for the upcoming World Jam competition, where they face off against their rivals, the House of Samurai, whose leader Julien used to be friends with Luke before they had a falling out. Step Up 3D (2010) follows Moose from the previous film as he starts his freshman year of college at NYU, leading him to meet up with his old friend Camille (Tyler's foster sister, possibly biological sister, from the first film) as well as the film's real protagonist, Luke, leader of the House of Pirates dance crew. It's also the darkest installment of the films, being the only one where a character dies during the course of the story. This first installment established the series' long-running theme of inter-class conflict, particularly in relation to the divide between hip-hop (considered 'lower class') and more 'traditional' dance forms like ballet or contemporary (taught at the 'upper class' private arts school).

However, his life changes when one of the students, Uptown Girl Nora ( Jenna Dewan), enlists him to be her partner for her senior performance after her regular partner is injured. Step Up (2006) follows teen delinquent Tyler ( Channing Tatum in his breakout role), a talented hip-hop dancer who ends up forced to do community service at the fictional Maryland School of the Arts after he is caught vandalizing school property. The films are a bit of a Cliché Storm, following a pretty consistent formula particularly when it comes to the love story aspects, but the series' clear focus is on the spectacular dance numbers that grow more and more elaborate with each new installment. Each film follows the story of a dancer who uses their talent as a form of expression and their subsequent romance with a fellow dancer, generally from a different class background. Step Up is a film franchise based around dancing, mostly hip hop / breakdancing.
