Summary:
You got served: At Mr. Rad's Warehouse, the best hip-hop crews in Los Angeles compete for money and respect. But a crew from the suburbs moves in and crashes the party, stealing their dancers, and their moves.

Stomp the yard: After the death of his younger brother D.J. a troubled 19-year-old street dancer from Los Angeles is able to bypass juvenile hall by enrolling in the historically black Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia. His efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he discovers 'stepping, ' a traditional dance performed by African-American fraternities. He soon finds himself in the middle of a fierce rivalry between the top two campus fraternities. Both want and need D.J.'s fierce street-style dance moves to win the highly coveted national step show competition. Gridiron gang: Sean Porter was a football player who turned into a juvenile detention counselor. He wrestles with the seemingly insolvable problem.

Based on a true story. Finding Forrester: Jamal Wallace is a talented young basketball player in New York City whose secret passion is writing.
