Summary : Some ancient student of the MSA came back at their school to do some great shows, and they are going to find some big surprises, including a new couple. ( After Step up 2, nothing on Step Up 3 )
Couples : Blake/Andie, Tyler/Nora, Chase/Missy, Moose/Sophie
Chapter 1 :
At the MSA school of Baltimore a big ' Free Entrance Day ' organized by director Collins and the teachers begun, because now all people could register at the new start of the new term, in that school you could find classical dance but also new dance, for example street dances : RNB, hip hop…
Director Collins had the good idea to invite old student to show how they evolved and what the school taught them in dance, music and arts.
Here, on the first floor of the school, in front of the professor's present board there were Tyler Gage and Nora Clark, who created a really international famous classical crew, Chase Collins, Missy and all the old MSA crew formed a new street dance crew : they all accepted to come back at their old school, Chase wanted to see his old brother but Andie too, who became a teacher at the MSA, all, especially Moose, Tyler and him, was really impatient to see her again.
" Hey look !" exclaimed Missy who read at the teacher borard " Felicia, you know she was in the 410 crew, she became teacher her, and she taught street dance, same thing than Andie."
" The school quickly evolved, I ask myself if that change didn't come from Andie" said Jenny Jo.
" Me, I bet my brother didn't change, always so superior, arrogant, and narrow-minded."
" You said that but you are really happy to see him Chase !" exclaimed Missy.
Chase didn't have time to reply : an actual student came toward them :
" Are you old students ?"
" Yes, I'm Tyler Gage, here Nora Clarke, we came together."
Chase went to introduce himself but the student interrupted him :
" You don't need that. We are all very proud to meet the famous MSA crew. Director Collin wanted me to lead you in our dance class for your exhibitions…you will see him later."
" And Miss West ?"
" He too. They are overworked."
Everybody followed the student who, meanwhile, introduce himself : John, his name, leaded them in a class where a lot of young people waited them.
" You have the free card to present your shows."
" Thanks John."
" New old student are going to come, I let you here."
John left, and Tyler chose to present his show first :
" So, I will be the first one. After, if you want, we could present the different dance battles, in this way the public could compare our different dances."
" Great idea."
A few meters from them, in the school director's office Andie was in Blake's arms.
" All will be well. If they really love us they will accept us."
" I couldn't accept their rejection, already with Sarah…"
" She need time…Andie, I love you. Be strong for us."
Blake kissed her, Andie smiled :
" I love you too."
They left the office.
In the dance class after the exhibitions of all old students who made really good one shows with classical dance.
" Now we will show you our dance through two battles girls against boy and then couples. Il will point you how a music could lead to two different styles. Know what you will see you will succeed in it at the end of the years of MSA. First battle Chase vs Missy."
The battle began and nobody noticed Andie's arrival : that last one appreciated all the moves of their friends and all above knew in the middle that Chase will win it.
" To know who won please applauded who you thought was better."
After the applause Chase was the winner, and Missy, the looser, came to congratulated him by kissing him.
" Good job Missy, Chase ! exclaimed Andie.
All turned toward her and rush over to hug her.
" I missed you so much !" then she noticed Nora, sitting in a chair, and was really happy to see her pregnant " Congratulations new dad, you will be an excellent father !"
" Thanks little sister", said Tyler with a big smile in his face.
Andie came to salute Nora and went to hug again Missy and Chase.
" Little secretive ! You are too well together."
" Thanks D…Chase won the battle, and he already is too proud of himself."
" Hey…that's not true !" exclaimed Chase.
But nobody listened to him.
" Please beat him for me Andie."
" Yeah, Andie, let's go, we need to see how you evolve." Said all the MSA crew.
" OK "
" Here, our second boy vs girl battle Chase, winner of the first one, will dance against Andie, teacher at the MSA. It's now."
Chase began with pure street with his favorite song " The Diary of Benjamin" (1) , he made a great show, but it looked like too much to the first Andie's turn, she made a little remark :
" I am going to show you how you could easily mix classic dance and street dance. In leaving that school you will have that two luggage and you will decide what path you will choose."
She put a chair in the middle and pulled the tape on, all heard " All or Nothing " of Athena Cage (2) , perfect song for an RNB debute, then hip hop and finally classic. Andie made a terrific show : she showed in one dance all she learned at school. She won the battle without any difficulty.
" It was fantastic Andie !"
All congratulated her, even Chase.
" And now, our couples : we have already a classic couple Sophie and Moose and another one from street dance Chase and Missy. Doing a battle with two different styles will be too complicated. We need two other couples."
The different shows leaded a lot of new people in the class, and very quickly, some whispers coming from actual student, was heard.
" We can do it. The director Collins will be obliged to accept, because if they don't they will be a big fiasco. In that only class there are easily ¾ of exterior peoples." Whispered a girl.
" OK, we follow you."
And they all screamed " Blandie ", or " Director Collins/Miss West" and they taped in theirs arms. Andie reddened meanwhile all the ancient students looked at her, surprised.
" What is it happening here ?"exclaimed Blake coming in the room.
" There will have a couple battle but they missed two couples and we thought of you, director and Miss West" explained a student.
Blake knew if he refused there will be suspect for all people, especially his old student, so now soon or later Andie and him will announce they were together so he let his students push him near to Andie and at the same time he greeted his ancient students.
" Perfect, we have our couple. First Moose/Sophie and Director Collins/Miss West for the classic dance. Follow well the couples and don't forget the applauses."
And was really nervous at the beginning because she felt all the look on Blake and her and not Moose and Sophie but she succeed to loosen and they won the battle only at the very end.
" You saw even with the classic we felt the passion between them."
" I totally agree with you, we made the right move to push him to dance."
Chase asked himself if he heard well but after he told himself all the comments were very true.
" Now the second battle, there will be Chase and Missy and we need to search another couple."
" Blandie, Blandie" screamed the student.
" What does Blandie mean?" asked Sophie looking really surprised all the students as they were all crazy.
" It's ok Tyler, Blake and I will continue the battle."
The old student jumped by hearing her tell ' Blake ' and not ' Director Collins ' but now the actual student.
" It will be really interesting." Whispered a student.
" Are you sure Blake, it's street dance you know !" asked Chase, really surprised.
" I changed, someone helped me." Answered Blake.
TO FOLLOW…
Soon : Blake and Andie's second dance, a new talent from Andie, and some surprising arrivals.
Little Note :
( 1 ) : That song was used in 'Step Up 2' when Chase danced in solo, and Blake taught Andie some classical moves.
( 2 ) : Song from ' Save the Last Dance ', the final dance. You can picture what Sara did ( the main character of Save… ), it was what Andie did !
