Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only get one shot. Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) is a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore's tracks – and the only thing that stands between him and an unfulfilled life are his dreams of one day making it out of there. Nora (Jenna Dewan) is a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore's ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts -- and the only thing standing in the way of her obviously brilliant future is finding a great dance partner for her senior showcase. When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer draw Nora's attention. Now, as sparks fly between them, both on and off stage, Tyler realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up to a life far larger than he ever imagined.

Damaine Anthony Radcliff is 6'5". Out of the Highbridge section of the northern Bronx borough is the up-and-comer Damaine Radcliff. As a youth he was thought to have potentially excelled in two areas other than acting. While at IS 229 he was a part of the nationally ranked chess team (which coincidentally became a movie). His athletic prowess then shone as he became an All-City basketball star at Samuel Gompers High School. While at Milford Academy Prep he sustained an injury which pre-empted an athletic scholarship. It seems, luckily, that Damaine's star simply was meant to shine in another galaxy. Upon returning home he began pursuing another love, acting and filmmaking.
His "big break" could almost be considered a "break-in" An acting buddy told him about auditions being held for a `little' basketball movie and suggested that Damaine `crash' the audition. He did as his friend suggested and that little movie actually was Jerry Bruckhiemer's Glory Road. And the role was a lead portraying another Bronx native, legend Willie Cager! After months of filming and more months of waiting for release, The reward is the number one movie in America, which is drawing comparisons to great sports movies like "hoosiers". An Inspiring Bronx Tale! Coming Down The Road... Damaine has just completed filming in Baltimore on "Step Up" with Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan Platinum recording artists Mario Drew Sidora and rapper/Actor Heavy D, which is expected to be released later this year. He has also starred in numerous mystery shows such as Law & Order: Trial by Jury. Get used to see Damaine up on the big screen. He has said he enjoys acting very much and couldn't see himself doing anything else.
These are the main characters. Couldn't find biographys for the other actors/actresses, but I will credit them for doing such an amazing job together on the movie!
