“Stomp the yard” is a movie about being the best stompers. At the beginning of the movie the main character, Columbus Short, loses his brother, because the other dance crew thought they deserved to win, but they didn’t. Columbus Short ends up being charged for his brother’s death, after serving the time he ends up moving with his aunt in Atlanta. His uncle forces him to go to college, however, Columbus makes it very clear that going to college is not his dream, but his brother’s dream. The first day of school he falls for a girl; she has a boyfriend that is in a fraternity that steps, and when Columbus meets him they start off the wrong way. One night, he goes to a club where people are stepping and repping their city. To treat the girl of his dreams’ boyfriend he gets on the dance floor and clowns all the cities. After seeing how good he is, two fraternities try to get him to join their fraternity. One being a fraternity his enemy (the girl’s bf) is in. After thinking it he joins Theta New Theta. With his skills Theta New Theta become the step champs, and defeat the New Gammas.
This movie shows that even though life has many obstacles and does not go as planned or imagined one can achieve anything. The fact that Columbus went to college for his brother shows how much he misses him and wants to keep him alive. The movie also emphasizes on following your heart and not letting anything or anyone get in the way.
