Imagine a cross between "Fame" and "Flashdance," with elements of such films as "Dirty Dancing" and "Staying Alive" thrown in, and you have some idea of "Step Up," the latest generic, teen-themed entertainment from the Walt Disney Co. While its sexy young lead performers and enjoyable dance sequences should provide some boxoffice enticement, this directorial debut from choreographer Anne Fletcher ("Bring It On") likely will score bigger on video. The formulaic plot centers on the cultural and romantic fireworks that occur between rough-hewn Tyler (Channing Tatum), a street-savvy kid from the rough side of Baltimore, and Nora (Jenna Dewan), a refined, upper-class young woman studying dance at a tony school of the arts. The pair comes into contact when Tyler, whose street credentials are established in an opening scene in which he is the only white kid at a black party, breaks into the school with his best friends Mac (Damaine Radcliff) and Mac's younger brother, Skinny (De'Shawn Washington), to commit petty vandalism.
