| Summary |
After the death of his younger brother, D.J., 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. His efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he discovers 'stepping,' an old traditional dance performed by African American fraternities and soon finds himself in the middle of a fierce rivalry between the top two campus fraternities. Both, want and need D.J.'s fierce street-style dance moves to win the highly coveted national step show competition. |
