Product Description After the death of his brother, an expert street dancer goes to Georgia to attend Truth University. But his efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he joins in his fraternity's effort to win a step dancing competition. .com 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 KimStills from Stomp the Yard (click for larger image) -- end6pak --> Beyond Stomp the Yard on .com Stomp the Yard on DVDsCD SoundtrackDance DVDs

A Fun HBCU Dance Extravaganza!
It's not an award-winning film (that I know of), but it's a lot of fun.STOMP THE YARD (Sylvan White, 2007) is the story of a street dancer from LA (Columbus Short) who gets sent to a fictional Historically Black University after his equally talented brother gets killed while competing, where he gets drafted into the local fraternity rivalry because of his impressive dancing ability. He doesn't think much of frat life at first, until a gorgeous coed (Meagan Good) opens his eyes and heart to it, inspiring him to join the perpetual underdog Theta Nu Theta in their quest to defeat their seven time champion step show rival Mu Gamma Xis. Thought DJ (Short) has talent, old rival forces behind the scenes, long predating his arrival at school conspire to keep him and the Thetas from ever achieving victory. Can DJ overcome these obstacles by successfully "stomping the yard (dancing)?" That's the film.And it's admittedly a very predictable one, with a story whose twists and turns and outcome you can pretty much see coming a mile away. But as I always say with movies like this, it's not about the story, but about the execution, and STOMP THE YARD has that in spades. The dancing is spectacular, the directing is reasonably good, and the cast is really talented. If you like this sort of thing, of if you enjoy dancing and dance movies in general, you will definitely get what you pay for. STOMP THE YARD is fun, the music is great, and it has a noble heart to it that deserves mention, making it a cut above other movies in this genre. Check it out!
