5 Reasons To Love The 'Step Up' Series

Last year, when Alyson Stoner released her tribute to Missy Elliot video, it got me thinking about what she's been doing with her life. When I went on her Wikipedia page and saw she was in the first "Step Up" movie, it blew my mind — my mom and I watched that movie so many times; how could I forget? So I watched the movie again and proceeded to go through a "Step Up" series phase. Here are a few reasons why these movies are actually good, despite what everyone else has to say.

1. Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum

Who doesn't love a romance that moves off-screen? Most people agree that the first "Step Up" was the best; the fact that it brought together Jenna and Channing is just a plus.

2. The dancing

It's a series about dancing, so of course these scenes are important, but some of them were so big and amped-up that they literally blew me away.

3. Moose and Camille

Moose and Camille have the best in-series relationship, and they are the best things to come out of "Step Up 3D." Moose is basically everyone's favorite, and Camille is such a sweet character that you can't help but ship for them.

4. The music

Again, it's a dancing series — they have to get the best music out there, and it's really good.

5. The characters

Maybe it's because I've seen the movies so many times, but I have an emotional attachment to the characters. In "Step Up All In," when all the characters from previous movies came back, I had tears in my eyes. The acting may not always be the best, but it's not like these movies are being nominated for Oscars.

All in all, I'm starting a petition for "Step Up 6."
