You saw her as Sasha, the girl who didn't have a wealthy upbringing, but could dance her butt off in Take the Lead. Now, Jenna Dewan stars as Nora, the lead character in Disney's Step Up, who does have the advantaged background this time and has one chance at the elite performing art school to fulfill her dream as a ballet dancer. However, she needs to find a new partner for her senior showcase, which also happens to be the biggest performance of her life. When Tyler (Channing Tatum), a troubled yet gifted street dancer is caught vandalizing the school, he's forced to do community service and sparks fly as he catches Nora's attention.

Tyler takes the fall for his friends in the film during their random crime spree. While Tatum hasn't done anything like that in real life, he says he has done other things that he's taken full responsibility for, even though he didn't act alone. "We caught the house on fire once. For some stupid reason, we thought it was fun to pour gasoline in the garage and light it and ride our skateboards through it. I don't know, I think we had just watched 'Back to the Future' or something, and we wanted to walk through the fire. We were like, 'Yeah!' And then, yeah, caught the house on fire a little bit. Didn't wreck the place or anything."

Was he left holding the bag? "Because my dad's a strict guy, and I still wanted to hang out with my buddies. [laughs] They'd have never been allowed over again. So I took the rap for that one. But there's other things that I've been like, 'I'm out of here! Bye! Good luck!' he admitted to ComingSoon.net.

Tatum could also relate to the street dancing aspects of his character Tyler. Out of the entire cast, he was the only one not professionally trained, and in fact, had never even taken a class before. Dewan loved his style of dance and said it didn't matter that he had never been formally taught. "He's such a good dancer on his own. He really has so much natural talent and he had done it in clubs and street dancing and stuff, so when it came to the partnering and the more technical side of dance, [director] Anne [Fletcher] was basically teaching the choreography but if we would do in session, something that just didn't feel right or I would be like 'You know, if you move your body this way or put your hand here, it will help.' So, I'd help every now and then but he actually picked it up really quickly and it wasn't something that was hard for him. It was pretty fun and we got along great," she said about her co-star.
