Trivia
In the step tournament there was 2000 extras used as the crowd, but they didn't know that this was a movie so they were really cheering and booing the steppers

Goofs
When Sylvester wants DJ to lead the step at nationals, DJ tells Sylvester that he has waited for four years to beat Gamma Mu. In earlier scenes we can see that DJ has on a pledge jacket that says Spring 06 and Sylvester has one that says Spring 04. If Sylvester waited four years then his pledge jacket should have said Spring 02.

April: Oh yeah?
DJ: Yeah
April: So, what's my favorite color?

Don't miss this one: well made and enjoyable!

Let me say right up front that my husband and I are White and around 50, and we really liked this film: my motivation for writing this review is to get other people to see it! Predictable but engaging, and very watchable: I needed to use the restroom but didn't want to miss anything(!), because the dance/step moves are so great. Lead Columbus Short (as DJ) is new to us, but he's nice-looking and charismatic, and definitely keeps your attention. On the whole, the film reminded us a lot of "Drumline," which we enjoyed too--both share a similar plot line and coming-of-age challenges. Anyone who likes dance films, even martial arts, should catch this one--you'll marvel at the athleticism and synchronicity of the moves, enjoy the posturing and confrontations, and buy into DJ's story. Ultimately, we cared about what happens to him, and the film kept our interest all the way through. Good for all ages in general, with some very attractive actors and good music...!
