In a gritty Baltimore neighborhood, a group of real-life teen girls has big dreams. They want to go to college. They want secure, successful futures. And they're hoping to get there through their own hard work and the support of their families, teachers, and counselors and the step team at their high school. Schoolwork and studies will get them the grades they need to get into the colleges they long to attend; step dance will give them the discipline and teamwork to succeed there. At least, that's what they hope. Following the dancers from practice and performance to the classroom and their homes, STEP chronicles the hopes and the struggles of a group of teens who are both ordinary and extraordinary — and utterly inspirational. - Common Sense Media
