Synopsis
Forced to drop out of private school and return to the projects, Raya feels her dreams slipping through her fingers — so it’s time to start using her feet. Hiding behind her big brain is an incredible step dancer and her fierce moves just might be her last hope. Caught between love, loyalty and a future that seems farther away with every step she takes, Raya must decide if chasing her dreams is worth losing herself. Directed by Ian Iqbal Rashid (Touch of Pink), the feel-good hit of the Sundance Film Festival is a high-energy coming-of-age story featuring electrifying step dance sequences by superstar choreographer Hi Hat.
