As a dance movie, Work It moves just fine.

Work It is an agreeable enough pastiche, clearly aware of its influences and not trying to pretend that it's come up with these steps all on its own.

Anyone who has seen even one film centered on high schoolers dancing it up and making their way in the world ("Step Up," "Bring It On," "Save the Last Dance," and the like) will know exactly where "Work It" is going.

Temper your expectations here: it's a movie set in a teenage atmosphere within a high school environment, so don't come in thinking you're going to get a concrete story.
