“STEP” ★★★★ Amanda Lipitz’s blink-away-the-tears documentary, a special jury award winner at Sundance earlier this year, isn’t really about step dancing, though its storyline follows a team of Baltimore high-school girls on the road to a step-dance championship. It’s about three remarkable young women — Blessin, Cori and Tayla — on a far more complicated road: to college, and to their dreams. Like them, the film is inspiring and funny and lovely, and you may find the words of one of the girls lingering: “If you come together with a group of powerful women, the impact will be immense.” – THE SEATTLE TIMES
