Make Your Move (formerly called Cobu 3D, also known as Make Your Move 3D) is a 2013 independent dance film starring K-pop singer BoA and ballroom dancer Derek Hough. The film was directed by Duane Adler, who wrote the script for Save the Last Dance (2001) and Step Up (2006).[2] Hough took season twelve off of the show Dancing with the Stars to star in the film, which was shot in New York City and Toronto during the spring of 2011.[3][4] Aside from the lead stars, singer Yunho from TVXQ has a cameo appearance.[5] The film was choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo, Yako Miyamoto, and Nick Gonzalez.[6][7]

A preview of the film was shown at KCON 2012, a Korean entertainment convention, in Irvine, California. Songs from the movie's soundtrack were played at the convention as well including three by the groups Girls' Generation, F(x) and TVXQ.[8]

The film was released in 2013.[9] According to IMDb, it was released in Norway, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark in the summer.[10] It was released in the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, and the United States in 2014.
