Depot Docs: STEP

STEP is the true-life story of a girls high-school step team, set against the gritty streets of inner-city Baltimore. Calling themselves the Lethal Ladies of the Baltimore Leadership School for Young Ladies, these inspiring dancers 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 dream: to win a step championship and to be accepted into college.

The Baltimore Leadership School is committed to seeing every girl in their senior class accepted into college, even though many of them will be the first in their family to achieve such a goal. The STEP team becomes a critical community of support and inspiration, as these remarkable girls strive to transform their lives. Deeply insightful and emotionally rousing, STEP embodies the true meaning of sisterhood through a story of courageous young women worth cheering for.
