Summary: Dead On
Review: In my twelve years of dancing, this is the one movie that I have seen that even remotely captures what it is like to be a dancer. It ends a little happier than real life, but the work, the relationships, the characterizations, everything is completely dead on. It thrilled me to death to finally see a scene that details the breaking in of pointe shoes. None of my friends had ever believed me that I had to actually beat the heck out of those pretty little satin shoes until they seen this movie.

Summary: A Must See!
Review: Center Stage is one of the best movies in the year of 2000. It's a must see! You'll laugh, cry and be amaze with the new and talent ways to view ballet. In other words, you'll just have a ball.In addition, the soundtrack is a must. You dance and sing every song over and over again.

Summary: Bad plot- good inspiration
Review: a cute plot, but dont go to this movie for any critical analysis of society. It has some neat dances in it, so I suggest it for choreographing inspiration. i guess the "nice" guy in the movie is pretty good looking too, but why does she have a thing for that Russian? i dont think he's that attractive...

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: I have to say, this is one of the best movies of all time. The choreography is excellent, and the actors/actresses were great. Jody (Amanda Schull) gets into the prestigious American Ballet Academy (ABA), which means she has a year to prove that she's good enough to be in the American Ballet Company (ABC). From the first day she is told that she has the wrong body, the wrong feet, etc., and that she will never be able to be a dancer. She proves them wrong, but not before learning a hard lesson in love and determination. This is a must see movie for everyone. Even if you don't like ballet.

Summary: Good for dance instructors, dance students and their parents
Review: Ok, so it's not the best picture of the year or anything close to that. But it is the perfect movie for students, teachers and parents involved in dance. It will raise some serious questions about all the issues that serious dance enthusiasts should be asking.

Summary: Wonderful Movie/DVD
Review: I originally rented this movie because I had heard about in on TV. At the time the DVD wasn't available so I had to rent a VHS. Well I watched it, and was hooked! I immediately went out and purchased the DVD, and it has been a wonderful addition to my collection. The DVD includes extended dance sequences. For anyone who appreciates ballet and dance this movie is a must have.

Summary: Great dancing, formulaic story
Review: Don't buy this for the story, which is a composite of every ballet cliche you've ever heard. (Company director marrying one of his ballerinas, womanizing male star, dancer just out of school becoming a principal dancer, etc.) Instead, buy it for the dancing and choreography, which are really first rate. The film features 2 principal dancers from the American Ballet Theatre (who, though not from my favorite company, the NYCB, are wonderful). The special features section has wonderful expanded sequences of Kenneth McMillan's Romeo and Juliet and Balanchine's Stars and Stripes. And the film itself features new choreography by hot new NYCB choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and a supercool modern piece by the film's main choreographer, Susan Stroman, that are alone worth the price of the DVD. If you love ballet (both classical and modern), you need this disc.

Summary: Ballet
Review: I love ballet, and in fact use to take classes, so of course I would love this movie. I think it not only had a great storyline, but the dancing was fabulous!

Summary: i truthfully cant stand ballet
Review: i am a person who loves to watch dance scenes if they are choreographed well, but cannot stomach ballet. although it is beautiful, it is not my style.but yet when i was flipping through channels i caught this one and automatically began to watch it. i can honestly say this is going to be one of my favorite movies. they took a very boring way of dancing and turned it into an extremely good time. it also shows you the hardships and realities of the lifestyle.
