Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) is a rebel who gets busted after busting up a prestigious art school's theater. Protecting his friends lands Tyler doing janitorial community service at the school where he crosses paths with Nora (Jenna Dewan), a talented ballet dancer with only a senior showcase standing between her and her dreams of stardom. After Nora's dancing partner injures his ankle and she can't find a replacement, Tyler steps in after proving he can bust a move as well as property. Nora's balletic grace and Tyler's smooth street dancing prove an unlikely complement, propelling them both to a stunning future.
