December 13, 2007Most of these types of urban dance movies mostly end up just showcaseing the dancers talents, but this one portrayed the actual story while remaining very entertaining, at no point getting lost or cliched into just becoming another dance movie...2 thumbs up...

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The performance sequences are explosively exciting, and Short's acting is almost as accomplished as his acrobatic dance routines. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The plot is stale though some of the moves are fresh in Stomp the Yard, a Flashdance-like fable about a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who brings his street-wise gangster style to the world of ... full review
