StreetDance is a two-film franchise set in Europe and centered about, well, street dancing. In both films, the leader of a hip hop/breakdance crew is trying to surpass its competition, a rival crew who will be their match for the finals of a streetdance contest. The breakthrough comes when they find a new edge adding moves and tunes from a different dancing style -ballet on the first movie, latin dances on the second one.For sure, Dancing Is Serious Business, but the drama is much more light-hearted than it was in its predecessor, the Step Up franchise. There is no saving their home or being allowed to have their desired career: it's mostly the art for the sake of the art, and with a positive pro-diversity message.

Love-Interest Traitor: A rare male example. Jay drops from his crew to "deal with some issues", leaving Carly behind and ignoring her calls until a friend of hers tells him that she is dating a new guy. Jay comes back, they make out, everything seems right again... and then they discover Jay has joined the opposing crew.

Worthy Opponent: Ash's crew is late to battle Invincible at the contest finals. Its leader Vince still accepts their challenge and pressures the organizers to let them participate. When they lose against Ash's crew, Vince shows his sportiness as he hands the trophy to Ash.

Smug Snake: Jay in the first movie is this, taunting Carly when apparently her crew is not going to be able to compete. Even more with Vince, the leader of the rival crew in the second film. He even named his crew "Invincible".

Third Is 3D: Averted; the first installment was, even being titled Streedance 3D; it was probably inspired by Step Up 3D, as it was the most recent movie of their predecessor at the time.

Dance Battler
 StreetDance / int_792e11ec
comment
Dance Battler: Somehow parodied. "Battle" is the term for a contest between solo dancers or crews. In the second film, Eva dances in a boxing ring to challenge anyone to out-dance her. She even kicks Ash a couple times during their first dance together, making him fall to his knees once. A while later, the streetdance crew goes to the club to see the moves the Latin dancers actually have. At first they despise their dancing style. They all end battered and exhausted as in a real battle, and get a newfound respect for salsa.

Height Angst: Isabella, one of the girls in the first movie breaks down crying during dance training when, after years and years of hard ballet practices, she isn't even allowed to audition because she has grown too tall. Carly makes a virtue of it in her crew's streetdance choreography instead.

Technician Versus Performer: In the first film, the ballet dancers are lacking passion, and the streetdance crew needs to improve its technique. Both aspects are asserted as needed to become the best dancers they can be.
