Trivia:
During filming and practices they actually kept both "fraternities" (Mu Gamma and Theta Nu) apart at all times so the routines would be a secret and so the actors could develop a strong sense of competition. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the first scene with DJ in his room, Rich changes shirts and picks up two hats, a green Atlanta Braves hat, and a green beret. Rich leaves the room wearing his green beret; yet later at the barbecue he is seen wearing the green baseball cap. moreSoundtrack:

Stomp The yard is a tale of a semi troubled L.A. youth named DJ who battles alongside his younger brother at street dances and after some tragic consequences, and a run in with the law, ends up having go and live with his aunt and uncle in Atlanta. While there he goes to college and has to work partime cutting grass and gardening for the school. Later after showcasing his dancing abilities at a club he is courted by two high profile sororities lead by hotties Brian White and Laz Alonso who want him to join there respected fraternities and aid in an upcoming "Stomp" competition. Things get complicated when DJ played by the sexy and cool Columbus Short begins to pursue a pretty coed played by the beautiful Meagan Good who happens to be the girlfriend of one of the frat boys played by the equally sexy Darren Henson of the TV version of "Soul Food". Then after pledging to one of the Fraternities DJ must learn to be a team player and not just think of himself if he hopes to help them win the upcoming competition. Throw in a backstory which later unravels regarding DJ's aunt and uncle and Meagan Good's characters father which has repercussions with DJ's future and and you have a story which has a familiar formula but to which I say....So What....The director's vision is fresh and the camera work is on point especially during the dance sequences. A high energy and uplifting story that kept me entertained. It also helped that Columbus and Meagan had unmistakable chemistry and played well off each other. His courtship of her is sweet, charming and downright sexy. Many women and for that matter some men will wish they were Meagan in the scene where she and Columbus share a sweet slow dance to the incredibly sexy tune of Maxwell's "This Woman's Work" and will need a few buckets of cold water to cool off after the scene where DJ is cutting the grass shirtless and almost runs into Meagan's character. Did I mention the incredibly sexy scene of DJ and his fraternity brothers running shirtless down the countryside...I guess I just did. Rent and enjoy.
