How to dance like moose from step up
What Happened To Step Up Star, Adam Sevani?
By Tevin McKenzie
Adam Sevani is easily recognized for playing Moose in the Step Up franchise, but what happened to him after the popular dance-themed movies?
Via Universal PicturesAdam Sevani is a triple threat—an accomplished actor, singer, and dancer, perhaps most notable for playing Robert “Moose” Alexander III in the Step Up series. Moose is a nerdy lighting design student who discovers his unconventional talent for dance. The New York Times praised Sevani's performance as Moose for portraying a character who "might be the baddest nerd in movie history." Despite mixed reviews, the film grossed over $150 million worldwide.
The first Step Up movie came out 14 years ago. It spawned four sequels: Step Up 2: The Streets (2008), Step Up 3D (2010), Step Up Revolution (2012) and Step Up: All In (2014). To date, the series has generated a total of $651 million in revenue.
Although some cast members have gone on to have successful careers, such as Channing Tatum who has starred in GI Joe and Magic Mike, Sevani has not had the same kind of success. Fans have been wondering what happened to this mega-talent.

Pop-and-lock your way to the theater: Step Up is back for another round. And with Channing Tatum loooong gone, we’re focused on Adam Sevani, or “Moooooose,” as he is better known in the series. The floppy-haired dynamo was mistakenly left out of the majority of Step Up Revolution (his cameo at the end barely makes up for that major faux pas!) but he’s back for Step Up All In. To celebrate, we talked to the man behind the Moose, Adam Sevani, about all things Step Up, hanging out in Las Vegas, and whether he’d take part in Tatum’s Magic Mike XXL. (Channing, if you’re reading this: Moose is waiting on your call. Honestly, we’re all waiting.
)
Step Up All In is out so soon! Are you excited?
Uhhh yes. I don’t know. Maybe!
Maybe? What do you mean?
I’m not as excited as I was when the first one came out because we’ve done so many of these.
That’s true. You’re a veteran of Step Up by now. You must feel like you’re on a never-ending roller coaster of the same type of movies.
Exactly. Exactly.
But I will say I missed you in Step Up Revolution.
When you appeared at the end, the entire movie theater I was in erupted into cheers. That must be nice!
It’s awesome.
And now you’re in Vegas. Did you guys do the typical Vegas stuff?
Vegas is kind of crazy because there’s so much going on. Everyone goes there to be entertained. We actually saw our good friends the JabbaWockeeZ’s show, which I was thoroughly impressed with. Very proud, because I’ve known those guys forever, maybe over 14 years.
Of course! From So You Think You Can Dance. Do you watch a lot of the dance shows?
I’ve never seen a single episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
No way.
Yeah; I watched the first season of America’s Best Dance Crew, because the JabbaWockeeZ were on it, but I don’t watch any dance shows like that.
With this being the fifth movie, you guys had to up your game. Were there any dance scenarios you found crazy to work with?
No. You know what? You would hope that you could keep upping it, but I still wanted to do more. I wanted to do way more than I was given. I mean, we didn’t really even have much time to prepare for this movie. Two weeks! A lot of my stuff I just made up the day of. All the dance sequences you see me doing, none of it was really preplanned. It just happened ten minutes before we had to shoot, and I was like, “Alright, I’ll just do this.
”
That’s crazy!
Yeah, I know, but it’s just how we’ve been doing these movies. The whole entire shooting of these movies is always behind, because you don’t have a lot of time to prepare. I wish we had more time because I wish it could get bigger, but it was good for the time that we had.
It’s just crazy that it’s such a big movie but you only had two weeks to prepare, you know?
Right, exactly.
That’s exactly like the plot in the movie where you only have a week to prepare.
Now that I think of it, that’s exactly how the movie was. I don’t know how it came together, but it did.
If you had to star in a different movie franchise, which would it be?
That’s a great question. Probably Rush Hour. I like that whole cop-comedy type of drama. It’s funny because we had these [VHS] copies of copies of the movies. So you couldn’t really see anything.
What about the Magic Mike sequel? Channing Tatum must still have love for the Step Up franchise. If he asked you to be in Magic Mike XXL, would you do it?
Yeah, sure! I’d have to beef up and gain some muscle and that’s no problem, but I haven’t seen [Magic Mike].
Hold up. You haven’t seen Magic Mike?
I haven’t seen it!
I mean you’d have to do some stripping, but I feel like that would be a fun thing for anyone.
I mean, I do that on the side anyway … [Laughs.]
Okay, well, you have to go see Magic Mike like, now. He might call.
I will!

GEOPRO: Geometria Step Up: Dance Like Adam
It is in the dance that a person can feel
to express those real feelings that live in the heart. Dance gives a boost of energy, makes you awaken special feelings and gives rise to unforgettable emotions. Before the brilliant Adam Sevani, the actor from the “Step Forward” series of films, will show his best moves to Krasnoyarsk dance lovers at a master class, we decided to recall our hero and his wonderful films.
Adam Sevani is a true professional.
How brilliantly he slides up and down the stairs in one of the episodes of the movie "Step Up 2"! Adam started dancing from an early age when his choreographer father started his own dance studio called "Synthesis Dance Center". In the film, Elk's repertoire is incredibly diverse. The actor's dance style mixes bottom and top breakdancing, popping, hip-hop and other new directions. Adam is liberated and puts out all his soul in the process of dancing. The firmness of performance, self-confidence, variety of movements and the ability to communicate through his body - all this makes us revisit his films again and again.
It all started with Step Up, released
on screens in 2006. All five parts of the incendiary franchise did not leave the audience indifferent. The history of hip-hop style immediately sunk deep into our hearts. The plot inserts continue with dances in a variety of styles: sensitive tango coexists with an episode in the spirit of old musicals, and, of course, street dances.
The main task underlying the films is to show all kinds of dance styles, b-boys appear in turn in the plot - breakdance dancers, vogers, poppers - dancers of such a style as popping, tap dancers and others.
The main idea of Step Up 5: All or Nothing,
as in all previous parts - street dancing, which is not just a hobby for the characters, but the meaning of life. Heroes gather in a team and with the help of their strength and perseverance achieve great results, changing life for the better. Proving that a happy future is in our hands. It only takes desire, determination and a little talent. The heroes demonstrate a team spirit, they know that only together they are strong, individually they are just dancers. They face rapport issues but seek compromise and do their best to prove to themselves and others who is the best at what they do.
The filmmakers transfer the characters they love
by the public, into new parts from the previous ones. So we can see Adam Sevani (“Step Up 2: Streets”), Ryan Guzman (“Step Up 4”), Alison Stoner (“Step Up”), Brian Evigan (“Step Up 2: Streets”), Maria Koda (“ Step Up 2: Streets) and also introduce us to new actors.
The franchise is rich in dance battles,
large-scale flash mobs, vivid episodes, unique movements combined with entertaining stories. No one has forgotten the episode with the dancing gang on the roofs of American retro cars. An unattractive traffic jam on an American street. But only the signal of one of the retro car, and the road is blocked. Everyone is confused. What's this? Mayhem on the streets? Call this bright and spectacular flash mob whatever you like. Everything happens pretty quickly. Setting the music, the participants instantly leave the car interiors and are already performing pirouettes on polished hoods and roofs. The dancers demonstrate their synchronicity, sense of rhythm, perfection of movements and sometimes acrobatic tricks to the stunned bystanders. And jumping cars like horses on a leash add spectacularity to this episode. As for the movie "Step Up 5: All or Nothing", the final dance caught the eye of the audience with its eccentricity. The dance of the pirates, saturated with various special effects: light, fire, flying up sand, amazed the audience with the movements of the robot, sliding along the floor and supporting the dancers.
Watching any part of Step Up
one gets the impression that before you are not actors, but masters of their craft, namely dances. How professionally it was possible to perform all the dance performances. I would like to note that such a successful synchronous skill required a lot of time and patience of the actors. However, in Step Up 4, rehearsals for the dance routine began a month before the actual production of the film began. Power loads were added to the movements, which made it even more difficult for actors without much dance experience, as well as actors with great experience, such as Alyson Stoner and Adam Sevani, referred to as “Moose” in the film. Jamal Sims took on a variety of choreographic movements. He accurately portrayed modern street dancing and gave the actors the real character of a professional dancer.
After watching any part of the amazing
movie "Step Up" there is a great desire to gather your dance team and stand on the dance floor.
Although it is possible that after watching this film, many viewers found themselves in dances, which soon became life for them.
Step Up is a great movie to learn how to dance: 10 scenes from the iconic franchise that will make you want to get up and try some moves

The stage was almost perfect, with great music and dancing. Sean and Andy talk about their past. This leads to an impromptu dance full of bright lights.
Step Up Movie 3D (2010): "Tango"
This dance scene was quite invigorating, sexy and even chilly. Luke and Moose are invited to Natalie's birthday party without her knowledge. It was the trick of Julian, her brother and rival Luke.
What made this scene incredible and mesmerizing was the element of masquerade combined with a sultry tango. Viewers could feel the tension and romance between Luke and Natalie. The choice of music matches every step perfectly.
Film Step Forward (2012) Revolution. Gallery»
The whole concept of the film is based on the movements of the dance group The Mob, which performs complex dances in public.
Later, they act to stop the demolition of the block where they live.
When a dance group appears on stage, all the paintings in the gallery come to life. The best moment comes when a ballerina appears in a shaded room. A beautiful combination of ballet, light show and techno music is shown.
Step Up 2 (2008) "The Streets"
Robert "Moose" is a recurring character throughout the Step Up franchise and becomes part of the MSA team. He dances with a special style. "Moose" simply surprises everyone with their dancing skills.

Step Up Movie 3D (2010) "Final Battle"
In the movie, the House of Pirates rebels against the House of Samurai. Leading up to this moment, there was a lot of turmoil and disagreement between Luke and Natalie. The battle was quite intense.
Two warring clans are not far behind each other. A real battle begins, which continues until the appearance of Natalie.
The dance of Luke and Natalie captivates and captivates with its plasticity and charisma.
Step Up Movie 3D (2010) Water Battle Surprise
It's not good when the dance floor is literally flooded with water. In the "Water Battle" Pirates had to improvise: "Moose" takes the initiative and takes the dance battle to a new level. The water added extra movement to each step.
This also prevented the other team from performing normally, however, this did not prevent the Pirates from putting on a spectacular show.
"Step Up" (2006) "Spooky Window"
Audiences went crazy over the fluid motions of Channing Tatum, who co-starred in "Step Up."
He is very hard to beat and Tatum has shown the world that he has what it takes to be a successful dancer. In the movie, the best dance scene happens at the end.
Step Up Movie (2014) "Final Battle"
The LMNTRIX group has strengthened their team and worked out new dances for the final battle in Vortex.
This made the usual dances just unique and incredible. It was a real incredible show full of choreography that just blew up the dance floor.
To add to the effect, sand fell from the sky when Musa had a solo moment in the performance. Also, elements of fire were included in the show, and it all looked incredibly stylish and modern.
His dance literally took the world by storm as he combined contemporary music and freestyle with dance. It was a combination of two completely different worlds. The result is literally stunning and very bright.
The film "Step Forward" (2012) "Revolution"
In this part, the dances impress with their music, which is quite sharp and synchronized. It's a combination of techno and guitar.
Counterfeit dollar bills fall from the sky during the dance. Unlike other films in Step Up. Revolution" had a more artistic approach.
Film Step Forward (2008) Streets. Final Battle
The final battle in Step Up 2: The Streets made the audience plunge into a real adventure.
