Overview:
Following in the dance shoes of 2006's Stomp the Yard, this Canadian drama stars newcomer Rutina Wesley as Raya, a gifted ghetto teen who loses her place at an exclusive school after her sister dies of a drug overdose. Returning to the projects, she falls foul of old friends and makes a bid for financial independence by setting out to win the prestigious Step Monster competition. Though grittier than its rivals in the genre (Step Up, You Got Served), this follows the same tired formula of redemption through freestyle street dance. The drab production design does reflect the economic realities faced by the neighbourhood's Jamaican immigrants, and the closing Step Monster contest has a fantastic "human automobile" routine (choreographed by hip hop's diva of dance HiHat). But, as in so many urban dance movies, the astounding choreography runs rings around the generic storytelling.
