I love dancing.
If I could hang up my pencil, lace up a fresh pair of dancing shoes and tango the night away I would do so in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I lack the grace, determination and talent to pull of such a feat. Coincidentally, director Sylvain White has the same lack of grace, determination and talent to steer Stomp the Yard away from becoming an urban line-dance in hell.
DJ (Columbus Short) is the protagonist in Stomp the Yard, and his story is anything but typical. DJ is a egocentric hotshot whose fate changes after a rival gang of dancers take one step too far in a challenge that ends in bloodshed (?).
Following the violent, dance-related death of his brother (??) DJ is forced to leave his L.A. stomping grounds to attend the fictional "Truth University" (???), an all-black college that his mom sends him to in hopes that he will be safe and sound from the urban dance catastrophes of his past (????).
kids rising above the struggles of everyday life through hip hop
dancing. Who says Hollywood just repeats the same movies over and
over again. Okay if you havnt caught on to the fact that im being
sarcastic by now your are very stupid. Another dance movie we
really needed one. What kind of story line is that anyway IM on
the run from my trouble making dancing past after my brother died
in a dance related incident. You have to know that sounds really
funny when you say that. AHH bordome i love how you give me the
time to do pointless things like this
