- Main article: Step Up 2: The Streets
After a prank in the subway Andie goes to the Dragon, a popular dance club, where she runs into Tyler. The two have a dance off. The stakes were that if Andie lost she would have to go to Maryland School of Arts. After the leader of the 410 kicks her out, she is convinced by Chase to start a new crew. After her group is shamed, and reclaimed their respect by performing another "prank" the 410 crew vandalized the studio at her school. Because of this and the fact Andie refused to give out the name of her group members she gets expelled from the school. Not long after that her crew caught up to her and they performed in the dance competition. Andie is described as a person who has to have time to get used to someone.

Quotes
"Thank you very much i'm a genius".
"You have no idea what my mother would have done".
Relationships
Andie is best friends with Moose, it can be assumed they have kept in touch over the years as in Step Up : All In, he knew where to find her.
She is also good friends and looks up to Tyler Gage, her childhood friend who is somewhat her dance mentor. He playfully treats her like a kid. (She is probably good friends with Camille Gage as well, as she is Moose's girlfriend and Tyler's foster sister).
Andie was in a relationship with Chase Collins. They met and grew interested in each other when she transferred to his school. Together they form a crew of "misfit dancers" after Andie is rejected from 410. They develop stronger feelings for each other and grow closer to one another, though not without any difficulties and trials. They share a kiss in the rain at the end of the film. It is unknown of their fate, however judging by the fact Andie has a new love interest in Step Up: All In, it is safe to say they have broken up due to long distance relationship.
In Step Up All In, Sean and Andie in the beginning, both start to open up and sparks fly. At the end, they share a passionate kiss.
Notes
- It is revealed in Step Up : All in that Andie was injured while dancing with a large dance crew.
