With April's help, DJ learns about the legacy and heritage behind the fraternities and decides to join up. Now part of an official step group, DJ must balance rehearsals, work, and school, while at the same time winning the heart of the girl of his dreams.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Critics are dismissing the script of Stomp the Yard as formulaic but are impressed with the dancing. Chris Hewitt in the St. Paul Pioneer Press puts it this way: "Stomp the Yard is swell as long as the characters are dancing." Mary Houlihan in the Chicago Sun-Times observes: "With his background in music videos and commercials, [director Sylvain] White has developed an innovative visual style. His cameras swoop and attack the dance sequences from every direction. A nod must be given to choreographer Dave Scott, who skillfully blends the dance styles into an explosive whole." That may be all that's necessary to attract an audience. As Elizabeth Weitzman writes in the New York Daily News: "Sure, it would be great if White gave us a hero worth rooting for, or a script that surprised us. He doesn't. What we do get is scene after scene of exhilarating routines, all leading up to the big finale."
