Sinopse
In a rundown township near Johannesburg, three youngsters from troubled backgrounds are right in the middle of the great adventure of coming of age. All members of the dance group TAXIDO, which provides a living while improving their prospects, their days are filled with rehearsals and performances. In Jerry, founder, choreographer and manger of the troupe, in spite of his frightful past they find the guidance lacking from their upbringings. Seipati, 18, lives with her overburdened grandmother and is proud of the trophies she has received as the group’s dancing queen, while Venter, 19, is relieved that dancing keeps him from the wrong path. Ladies’ man Tshidiso, 20, always on the phone dealing with one of his eleven girlfriends, conquers not only girls but also TAXIDO audiences with his charm. Wherever they perform their wild dance routines, homegrown on the streets of their township, they receive praise. Though back in their hovels they face again the daily grind of poverty added to by the sometimes aggressive treatment Jerry uses to keep them from the violence of the streets. But then the youngsters start to rebel when other interests take hold…
