An award-winning feature-length television documentary following the middle and high school-aged members of Off the Curb, an afterschool hip-hop dance troupe, as they struggle through adolescence, committing themselves to living a "no drugs and no violence" lifestyle. Off the Curb was founded by Jackie Henderson ~ a dancer, choreographer, and fitness instructor from Newport, Rhode Island ~ in 1992. Her own personal struggles are revealed as she mentors the group through her dedicated guidance and choreography, uplifting them and helping them to succeed. Chosen via a highly selective audition and interview process due to limited funding, the members of Off the Curb learn how to overcome disadvantages and setbacks in life through the art of dance.
