The typical conventions of the dance genre opening scene usually consist of scenes of dancing followed by flashbacks of dancing/ the main characters past which then has the characters name appearing and sets the motive/ pace/ storyline of the film (i.e step up 2) . However some of the films don't follow the conventions i.e Honey which starts off in a bar in a nightclub with the main character but doesnt tell you the storyline in the first few minutes nor does it have any dancing in the first 2 minutes of the film.
