Urban dance movie, from the director that brought you I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. After the death of his younger brother, a teenage street dancer from Los Angeles is able to bypass juvenile hall by enrolling in Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia. But his efforts to get an education 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.

"The dancing is more dynamic than the plotting in Stomp the Yard, an energetic if formulaic underdog tale about warring black fraternities specializing in an intensely competitive style of step dancing..."

—

Variety

"As the central character in this musical melodrama about step dancing in black fraternities, Short displays an uncanny dramatic sensibility to go with the eye-catching athleticism of his dance moves..."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Stomp the Yard, at nearly two hours, has a decent story, a good subject and a horrible plot..."

—

San Francisco Chronicle

"Predictable but feel-good dance flick..."

—

New Zealand Herald

"The ads for Stomp The Yard play like a music video and, thus, they are not misleading; the film consists of a series of phenomenal dance sequences, all highly entertaining and expertly choreographed..."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Decidely average teen drama but with a few decent dance numbers..."

—

Empire Magazine

"White lingers too long on the gymnastics, perhaps inevitable since he's otherwise lumbered with a clumsy romance plot. Sadly the combination produces something like one of those overblown touchy-feely Nike ads..."
