) and Skinny Carter (De'Shawn Washington), and their friend Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum
), break into the Maryland School of Arts and damage many of the props in the school's theatre. When a security guard appears, Tyler helps the other two escape and accepts the blame. He is sentenced to 200 hours of community service, which he has to serve at the school. While working, he watches a dance class and meets Nora Clark (Jenna Dewan
), a student preparing for her "senior showcase." The performance could determine if she gets a job with a dance company. Later, Nora secretly watches as Tyler mockingly shows his friends a mix of break-dance and the ballet moves he picked up. Nora's dance partner sprains his ankle, leaving Nora without a partner. After auditioning some students, she doesn't meet anyone who is good enough. Tyler offers to help, but she at first refuses. Eventually she changes her mind, having seen him dancing earlier, and convinces Director Gordon (Rachel Griffiths
) to allow Tyler to rehearse with her. During their initial practice session, Tyler is antagonist
ic toward Nora as well as her boyfriend, Brett (Josh Henderson
), both of whom respond with haughty attitudes. As they continue to rehearse, Nora and Tyler grow closer, each teaching the other about their respective styles of dance. Tyler also befriends a musician at the school named Miles (Mario), who has a crush on Nora's friend, Lucy (Drew Sidora
).
One day, Nora takes Tyler to a special spot on the waterfront, which is where she envisioned her routine. She tells Tyler she always imagined it would be with a large group, and Tyler helps her dream come true by recruiting younger dancers from the school to perform in her number. Brett gets a recording deal with a company, but in doing so, dumps Miles to sign the deal. Nora then breaks up with Brett after seeing his poor treatment of their friend.
Tyler asks Director Gordon if she will let him attend the school, and her response is that he must prove to her that he deserves a chance. Upon hearing this, Nora says the showcase can be his audition. After dancing together at a club, Nora and Tyler begin a romantic relationship. However, when Nora's dance partner returns, seemingly healed from his injury, Tyler feels that he is no longer needed in the routine, and angrily accuses Nora of treating him the same way her ex-boyfriend treated Miles. He leaves the group and so he goes back to janitorial work at the school. However, in the course of the training Nora has been incorporating many of Tyler's suggestions for the choreography, and it is now too difficult for the original partner to perform. Nora is left without a partner, but though she is crushed, she changes the choreography into a dance without a partner.
Later on, Skinny is fatally shot after stealing a car, making Mac and Tyler realize that they need to make better choices in their lives. Later at the event, Tyler shows up and Nora is shocked to see him. Tyler tries to persuade Nora to let him in. She initially says no but then thankfully changes her mind and Tyler dances with her onstage (using their original choreography), impressing everybody.
When Director Gordon tells a Director from a Professional Dance company looking to sign Nora that Tyler is a transfer student, Nora becomes pleased, and at the last moment Tyler kisses Nora and the story ends..
