At its core, Stomp the Yard is a romantic drama disguised as a dance film. Or is it the other way around? DJ (Columbus Short) is a troubled teen from Los Angeles who gets a chance for a better life when he is admitted into Atlanta's privileged Truth University. Just when he thought he had escaped a life of gangs, DJ finds himself in the middle of a "war" between two upper-crust fraternities where stepping (a popular dance form) is their weapon of choice. When DJ realizes the coed he falls for is the girlfriend of the school's champion stepper, he joins the rival fraternity to try to show her--and himself--that he's as good as anyone else there. Stomp the Yard is not an original film. Add some drums and you've got Drumline. Change some of the characters around and you've got Save the Last Dance. What sets the movie apart is the stepping. The precision involved at this level is impressively complicated and Short--a dancer and choreographer--is beautifully expressive both as an actor and a dancer. Sure the plot is predictable and hokey at times. But Short and Meagan Good (as his crush April) have wonderful chemistry together, and the supporting cast--including Harry J. Lennix as DJ's no-nonsense uncle--are delightful to watch. --Jae-Ha Kim Stills from Stomp the Yard (click for larger image) Beyond Stomp the Yard on Amazon.com

 Excellent! February 18, 2010
Alan G. Champion (New York City)
STOMP THE YARD... A riveting, musical/dance extravaganza! The plot is captivating; acting is competent/compelling; and dance is mesmeric. Soulful, stylish and ala mode, the frenetic, "Stomp the Yard" surpassed my expectations. As a screenwriter, I wished that I wrote it. I hope that the writer/director will imbue society with more films portraying and depicting dignity, pride, harmony and triumph.

Arnita D. Brown (USA)
After the death of his younger brother, a troubled 19-year-old street dancer from Los Angeles is able to bypass juvenile hall by enrolling in the historically black, Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia. But his efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he is courted by the top two campus fraternities, both of which want and need his fierce street-style dance moves to win the highly coveted national step show competition.
I really enjoyed this movie, and I appreciated the fact that lessons could be learned from such a movie. In my opinion it is a must see if you want a refreshing change. A nod must be given to choreographer Dave Scott, who skillfully blends the dance styles into an explosive whole.

I love the dancing; however, the stepping was not what I remember it being in college.

I have not seen this movie yet, but my son has and he love it. I got it for him, not me. My son is 14 years old. He has seen it twice now.
