Step up

Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only get one shot. Tyler Gage is a rebel (n. 叛逆者) from the wrong side of Baltimore¹s tracks ­ and the only thing that stands between him and an unfulfilled (a.无法履行的) life are his dreams of one day making it out of there. Nora is a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore¹s ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts -- and the only thing standing in the way of her obviously brilliant(a.辉煌的) future is finding a great dance partner for her senior showcase. When trouble with the law lands (v. land…with把…强加于…) Tyler with a community service gig (记过) at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry outsider (n.外来者), until his skills as a gifted (adj.有天才的) street dancer draw Nora¹s attention. Now, as sparks fly between them, both on and off stage, Tyler realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up to (接进, 走进)a life far larger than he ever imagined.
