Camille e Moose, due amici d'infanzia, vanno a New York a studiare ingegneria. Appena arrivati Moose vede un ragazzo (Luke) con un paio di Nike introvabili, decide cosi di seguirlo, imbattendosi in una "gara di ballo" per strada, dove si batte contro un ragazzo che fa parte della banda dei Samurai, vincendo (nello stupore generale: i Samurai sono i migliori di NY). Luke lo vede e lo invita a far parte della sua squadra di ballo, i Pirati, e lo porta nel loro covo: una casa-palestra dove il gruppo si allena e vive assieme. Moose attratto da questa vita frequenta raramente le lezioni di ingegneria, dedicandosi più al ballo. Luke vede nel suo locale una ballerina di talento e la chiama a far parte della sua squadra, lei accetta volentieri e tutti insieme si mettono al lavoro per la World Jam, una sfida all'ultimo sangue con premio di 100.000 dollari, di cui hanno bisogno per pagare l'ipoteca della casa. Luke si innamora di Natalie, la ragazza nuova, ma scopre che è la sorella del suo accanito nemico, il capo dei Samurai, e che lei è entrata nella squadra solo per spiarli. In più il loro covo viene anche requisito dalla banca, così i Pirati ormai stufi di tutto si sciolgono. Moose riesce a riunirli, perché non si era mai arreso, e a trovare un posto dove ballare e in più, visto il piccolo numero dei Pirati, chiama anche la vecchia crew (Step up 2) e Camille. Naturalmente alla fine vincono la World Jam, Luke e Natalie partono insieme alla volta di Los Angeles
