Step Up Movies: Release Order
The Step Up franchise spans six feature films released over thirteen years, combining street dance culture with underdog stories across different American cities. The series follows a loose continuity model where each film introduces new protagonists while maintaining connections through recurring characters and shared dance communities.
This complete release order includes all six films, but it's worth noting that Step Up: Year of the Dance is a standalone Chinese co-production with no narrative connection to the main American series. The first five films form the core storyline with characters like Moose, Andie, and others crossing between entries, creating a shared dance universe centered around different crews and competitions.
There is 1 other watch order available – see the link up above.
