Step Sisters Page #6

Synopsis: Jamilah has her whole life figured out. She's the president of her black sorority, captain of their champion step dance crew, is student liaison to the college dean, and her next move is on to Harvard Law School. She's got it all, right? But when the hard-partying white girls from Sigma Beta Beta embarrass the school, Jamilah is ordered to come to the rescue. Her mission is to not only teach the rhythmically-challenged girls how to step dance, but to win the Steptacular, the most competitive of dance competitions. With the SBBs reputations and charter on the line, and Jamilah's dream of attending Harvard in jeopardy, these outcast screw-ups and their unlikely teacher stumble through one hilarious misstep after another. Cultures clash, romance blossoms, and sisterhood prevails as everyone steps out of their comfort zones.

Maybe if you tried that,

your charter wouldn't be in danger.

[WOMEN] Ooh!

OK. Now that we're all here...

What makes a great step team?

- Oh! Big-ass feet.

- Jesus.

Clever.

- But no.

- Oh.

- Unity.

- Unity! I was going to guess that.

In order to create the beat,

everyone has to be in sync.

Like our periods.

The audience spots mistakes

and weak links immediately,

and then you are done.

You have to think of yourselves

as limbs of the same body.

Sounds really corporate retreat-y.

Are we gonna do trust falls next?

[WOMEN LAUGH]

Do not talk while I am talking.

I'll extend you the same courtesy.

It's like mutual respect.

OK?

OK. Let's back it up a little bit.

Let me see you guys dance.

We are here to step.

That's different to dance.

[JAMILAH] You're right.

But I've got to see what I'm working with.

[HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

First five.

["LEFT FOOT, RIGHT FOOT"

BY ILOVEMEMPHIS PLAYING]

Turn it up right now

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Get it on

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Put your hands up

Waa!

Hit it on them, hit it on them

Hit it on them

Hit it on them, hit it on them

Hit it on them

Put your hands up

OK, people, let's get started

I'm the turn up king

So I'm piping

Every guy is like, "Aye"

If you can't dance...

Um...

It's OK

Left foot, right foot

Come and swing my way

Memphis is my state

But I'm always in the A

And when I do my dance

Everybody's like "Ay"

Swag surfing caught a wave

And I ain't coming back down

Left foot, right foot

Turn up right now

OK! I've seen enough.

Alright. Today,

we're gonna do some stepping.

I'm gonna teach you an eight-count.

Watch my hands, watch my feet,

and really listen to the rhythm.

OK. Now, slow...

Now you try it.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Stomp, clap, slap.

Stomp, clap.

Bend your knees.

[UNCOORDINATED CLAPPING]

OK, just stop! This is so childish.

This is going to impress no one.

Danielle...

try the step alone.

My pleasure.

[JAMILAH] Oh, my God.

[LIBBY] Is she crazy?

Something like that?

Let's call it a night, ladies.

Practice this on your own.

Same time tomorrow.

Oh, my God.

[CHUCKLES]

I totally only drink things

with "skinny" in the title.

Like my handy work?

I built this so you can grab a bottle

from anywhere,

and the rest will redistribute

without breaking.

Are you a... Are you a new pledge, or...?

Oh, hell, no.

[JAMILAH LAUGHS]

You'd have to pay me, like, 12

Scrooge McDuck gold vaults to pledge SBB,

especially with Darth Hater as president.

Wow. Duck Tales and a Star Wars

reference in one sentence.

What's your name, not pledge?

Jamilah.
