00:00The Hollywood hip-hop blockbuster dance film Step Up is coming to Dubai bringing its high
00:15octane hip-hop dance moves to fans in the region in a show called Step Up Dubai All
00:20In at Motiongate Dubai.
00:23Step Up is a film series that's all about hip-hop and romance.
00:26So you have dancers and then you have a storyline that's woven around it.
00:30It's amazingly age appropriate for all ages.
00:32So children like it because of the dancing, teenagers like it because of the love story,
00:36older people like it also because of the love story and the chemistry that comes from the
00:41teen feel that it has.
00:43So it's got something for everybody.
00:45This is the first time ever that we've brought the film version, you know, what has been
00:50on the big screen to the live stage.
00:52And that's a huge transition, adapting all of that to the live stage is tricky.
00:58The story of Step Up Dubai All In is basically a dance crew here in Dubai going to the Middle
01:04East Dance Championship.
01:05So we had to make it international just like Dubai is.
01:07So that's why we have so many different nationalities in the show.
01:11We actually have different nationalities that play the same role.
01:14So one day you can see the role played by someone from Japan, the next day you can see
01:17it played by someone from Ukraine.
01:18So it's got a very non-specific vibe to it, just like Dubai.
01:23Hosted inside Motiongate Dubai's 1,000-seat Hollywood Theatre, the show features performers
01:28recruited from around the world.
01:33There's lots of dancing, there's a lot of singing as well, as well as acrobat.
01:38Tramp work, stunt work.
01:40In a sneak peek preview, dancers showcased various acrobatic moves, backflips and break
01:46dancing dance-offs.
01:48This is the first of a series of action-packed shows Motiongate Dubai will release over the
01:59coming weeks.
