Here Are 9 Behind-the-Scenes Facts Every ‘Step Up’ Fan Should Know Before the Film’s 10th Anniversary!

1) The final scene backstage was shot after filming ended because test audiences wanted to know what happened to Tyler and Nora after their big performance.

2) Tyler was originally named Derek and was supposed to be a singer instead of a dancer.

3) Jenna Dewan covered up the tattoo on the back of her neck for filming.

4) Director Anne Fletcher plays the teacher directing the dance class where we first meet Nora.

5) Channing Tatum was nervous shooting the dance scene at the house party in the beginning of the movie because of one move: when he had to slide between the legs of the girl he was dancing with. He said he was terrified he'd knock her over.

6) Jenna Dewan said Nora's backstory changed daily but that she didn't mind because it allowed her to explore every version of the character.

7) Channing Tatum nearly broke his neck while filming the final dance sequence after he fell directly on his head after attempting to do a flip.

8) Channing Tatum compared the shirt Jenna Dewan was wearing on the rooftop scene to a "wet water balloon." The slipperiness of the material made the lifts difficult.

9) The cereal scene between Channing Tatum and Alyson Stoner, who plays his foster sister Camille, was completely improvised.
