Beyond the pride. Beyond the rivalry. Beyond the tradition.

When DJ, a troubled youth from Los Angeles, moves to Atlanta to attend Truth University, he discovers 'stepping,' the age-old style of dance traditionally done in African-American Fraternities, where teams demonstrate complex moves and create rhythmic sounds by using their bodies. DJ’s raw talent and hip-hop moves quickly place him at the centre of a fierce rivalry between two fraternities, the winner of which will be determined in front of a sold-out arena at the annual stepping championships.
