Ready to dance? Okay, it’s too hot out. Ready to watch people dance and be dazzled? Me too! Especially while I’m eating popcorn and Twizzlers. Balance in all things, y’all. I’ve got passes for the Baltimore area screening of Step, and I’m ready. But first? Synopsis!
STEP is the true-life story of a girls’ high-school step dance team against the background of the heart of Baltimore. These young women learn to laugh, love and thrive – on and off the stage – even when the world seems to work against them. Empowered by their teachers, teammates, counselors, coaches and families, they chase their ultimate dreams: to win a step championship and to be accepted into college. This all female school is reshaping the futures of its students’ lives by making it their goal to have every member of their senior class accepted to and graduate from college, many of whom will be the first in their family to do so. Deeply insightful and emotionally inspiring, STEP embodies the true meaning of sisterhood through a story of courageous young women worth cheering for.
Step teams. B’more. Overcoming the odds. What more could you ask for? Free passes! Well c’mon!
Sometimes I’m too lazy for a full-out piece. Sometimes everything I’ve got to say about a film can be summarized in a sentence or two. Sometimes it’s both. So herewith, a quick-n-dirty on…Wish Upon!
