How She Move is an energetic, gritty
and ultimately inspiring coming of age tale about a
gifted young woman who defies all the rules as she step
dances her heart out to achieve her dreams. Featuring a
fresh cast of new discoveries, this Sundance Film
Festival hit marks the feature film debut of the
electric RUTINA WESLEY, with street-style step sequences
by top choreographer Hi Hat and special appearances by
R&B singer-songwriter Keyshia Cole and comedian DeRay
Davis.
Bursting with raw talent and intelligence, Raya Green
(WESLEY), the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, has
always been the family's one great hope. She won the
rare chance to break out of their drug and
crime-infested neighborhood when she was accepted into
the exclusive Seaton Academy. But when her sister dies
of an overdose, the family is shattered and Raya is
forced to return to the place she tried so hard to
escape.
It's not easy to go back - especially when one-time
friends, including the tough minded Michelle (TRÉ
ARMSTRONG), see Raya as a stuck-up traitor who left the
community behind. Feeling trapped and looking for a way
out, Raya learns about a step competition with a $50,000
cash prize that could change her fate. Most of the crews
that win the big money are all male, forcing Raya to
fight her way in as the sole female member of the Jane
Street Junta (JSJ), led by the reining champ of the
local steppin' scene Bishop (DWAIN MURPHY). As sparks
begin to fly between Raya and Bishop, a false move by
Raya leaves her without a crew, and she finds herself in
a battle between her loyalty, her determination, her
family's ambitions and her heart. As the big contest
approaches, she realizes it's no longer just about the
money or the opportunity, but also the one thing that
she's been missing in her life: a sense of self.
