Moose's character is the only one that appears in nearly all the films. He is shown in Step Up 2: The Streets (2008) as a secondary character, Step Up 3D (2010) as a main character and Step Up Revolution (2012) as a guest character. Camille (Alyson Stoner) despite being his love interest, is shown in the original Step Up (2006) and Step Up 3D (2010).
In a movie whose main theme is dance, the only choreographic credits are given to three people as miscellaneous crew.
Izabella Miko called her character very colorful and said she loved Alexxa. She said she enjoyed playing a woman with Effie Trinket's fashion style and Michelle Pfeiffer's face.
