Jon M. Chu's direction in the Step Up franchise laid the groundwork for his future successes in musical films. His focus on visually engaging dance sequences showcases his growth as a filmmaker.
In Step Up 2: The Streets and Step Up 3D, the emphasis remains on long takes that showcase the dance skills, distinguishing them from his later, more fast-paced musical adaptations.
While critics argue the plots of Step Up films are unremarkable, the franchise serves as a critical foundation for innovative dance sequences, emphasizing the artistry behind the performances.
The Step Up franchise's dance sequences offer a different experience compared to Chu's later work, focusing on appreciating the skill of dance rather than veering towards music video aesthetics.
