Synopsis

He will challenge their traditions. Their traditions will change his life.

A coming of age drama, STOMP THE YARD is a multi-layered story which combines romance, class conflict and the rich tradition of African American fraternities.

DJ Williams (Columbus Short) is a kid more used to the street of Los Angeles than college, but he ends up attending the historically black, Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia when he gets on the wrong side of the law. A talented dancer, it is here that his life is transformed when he joins a fraternity who recruits him in their bid to win the highly competitive national step show competition.

Directed by Sylvain White (I ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) and produced by Will Packer the film is packed with some electrifying dance sequences.
