Ryan Guzman tells us how the film made him realise that dancing can be a good way to shed emotional baggage
Actors on sets
You know what’s awesome about this is I got to work with my best friends here. We actually became a family. We used to hang out off set and before Step Up 5 we were hanging out. It’s awesome to see them again and see the growth in everyone too. I love them all. I love Briana to death. She is just fun to be with. We hang out all the time. She does more hip-hopping and is just fabulous.
We brought back quite a few people from earlier movies. There is Mari Koda who was in Revolution, Step up 2, 3; she is playing Jenny Kido and she is in my crew now. Same thing with Adam Sevani and Briana. Chadd Smith Mr Robert Guy.
We are bringing back Chris, Misha Gabriel. I love the kid to death; he plays my brother and best friend. Its crazy how we switch roles. In last film Revolution he was the angry weird guy and now I am that guy and he is more centred, so it’s kind of cool. SteventWitch Boss, he is an amazing dancer.
Dance as a form of art
Step Up influences and shows dancing is a good form of releasing what you have in mind and emotions you are going through. It’s amazing how much dance can touch people’s life and the main fact I have learnt from these experiences. It’s just another form of art which you can express yourself with.
