Great song and dance tributes to iconic musical showstoppers. It was such an homage to the original artists by a whole new crop of talent. Well done Houghs! I give this TV film a 7 (good) out of 10. {Musical Tribute}

Great homage
More more more !
My only complaint... not enough of it ! Could probably fill several hrs. Of iconic movie dances :) there are so many wonderful dances & dancers on film I just wanted it to go on and on . I could have watched it for hours ! It was the best feel good thing on television in a long long time ! It's not fair to require 150 characters for a response when " just Fabulous " or " the best thing on television " or " very worth the watch" or any number of phrases or words could sum up what a great program this was it was just way to short !
Top Notch
On the heels of the series "The Real Dirty Dancing"---which was a competition designed to celebrate the now-iconic film---comes this offering from Derek and Julianne Hough. "Step Into" is a re-creation of many classic movie dance scenes, and it succeeds wonderfully.
The brother-sister team, as producers and stars, have created a beautiful tribute to the dancing of "Singin' in the Rain" and "Saturday Night Fever", among others. The production values are high. The cinematography and editing are beautiful. And the dancing itself is superb. Derek and Julianne surpassed my expectations.
I have only two complaints: I would have enjoyed a classic Astaire-Rogers dance number. And some of the dances were so good, I wanted them to continue. Well, you can't have everything. But I hope this production was successful enough that they come back with another, longer tribute that is even better.
Special mention to Kenny Ortega who, besides lending his credibility, displayed such emotion and enthusiasm for the project that it was touching.
