Summary: Dancing Queen
Review: This movie is for you if you ever wanted to dance. It's a teenage movie that is all about hardships at the hardest dance school in the U.S. Teens going through bulimia, fitting in, being in love, finding a place, etc...etc... It shows how much work people put into their dancing, how serious it is to them. Fitting in was a big part of this movie too. The main girl character finds different people who becomes her friends. I thought this movie was excellent!

Summary: I love this movie
Review: I wanted to see Center Stage when it came out in the theater, but never had the chance. I rented the DVD and fell in love. I was a dancer all my life, but knew I'd never be a professional. I've only watched it twice, (in two days) but I had to buy it. I love watching the extra dance footage and am looking forward to the director's commentary. Yes, the characters are predictable, but they're sweet. While the actors may not have Oscar potential, I was convinced. Watching this movie made me want to get up and dance around the living room. If you like dance, you'll enjoy this movie.

Review: If you like dancing, cute guys, or just a fun movie, than this is the one for you. It lakes place at the American Ballet Academy (ABA). Every year teenagers go there to compete for a spot in the American Ballet Compony (ABC). This movie is just about the life of them. How they act, what they do in and out of dance, amd much more. I want to wreck it for you, but, I won't. Here are three words of advise:: GET IT.............NOW!

Summary: KEEP ON DANCING
Review: If you're a dance addict, this own's for you ! The dance sequences are great and get you on your feet. Loved the music, even the surprising Michael Jackson final number. The story is fine and you learn more on the backstage and how hard it is to reach the top. Watch this movie a Friday/Saturday night before clubbing, it will start you up for a great night

Summary: precise...
Review: About the competative world of Ballet dancing.
All Jody has ever wanted was to be a Ballet dancer. She was the best in her class, and got accepted to American Ballet Academy. While there she learns just how hard it is going to be to EVER get a dancing career. She has bad feet and, according to Jonathan (the director), she doesn't have the right body type. Jody refuses to give up, and starts to dance better than ever.
Eva would be best described as "the Attitude". She doesn't take crap from anyone, and she can't STAND her new roomate Maureen. I guess she made a mistake with all her talking back, because she is cast a part in the production that devistates her. Will she be able to climb back to the top and be accepted into the American Ballet Company?
Maureen is the best dancer at ABA. Her positions--flawless. She is truly a teacher's pet. But how SHE feels doesn't matter. He mother is pushing her to be a part of the ballet world, when she doesn't want to. It's to hard for her. If things aren't bad enough for her, she has an eating disorder (bulemia) that she has to cope with. How will she be able to tell her mother that her dream isn't to be a ballet dancer, and that she's sick?
This movie was actually really accurate with what goes on "behind the scenes" in ballet. It isn't all peechy keen. The pressure about body wieght and perfection is always something that can stand in your way. I really liked this movie, and i'm sure that others will too.

Summary: The ONLY film that ever made me want to get up and dance!
Review: I saw Center Stage once in the theatre and bought it recently on DVD. It hasn't left my DVD player, and I've probably watched it upwards of seven or eight times since. The cast is energetic and amazingly talented, the soundtrack is an excellent match to the various types of dance numbers, and the dancing itself is sublime. I loved the extra features on this DVD, most notably the isolated soundtrack, director's commentary, deleted scenes and the extended dance sequences. The video by Mandy Moore was also a nice touch seeing as it uses footage of the cast of Center Stage and is an excellent song on its own. The isolated soundtrack works well with the workshop numbers as well as the club scene. The commentary by Nicholas Hytner was interesting as well--for example, the NY skyline in the dance studio was simply a very large transparency. He also addresses technical aspects of shooting dancers and the infamous dance studio mirrors. There are only two deleted scenes: one of Cooper at a rehearsal for "Stars and Stripes" as he chats with Joan Miller, and one where Charlie performs a solo number in rehearsal, featuring stunning footwork and a playful mood. The extended dance sequences flow much more smoothly without the constant cuts to the rather bored-looking audience, allowing the footwork and energy to shine through uninterrupted. Although quips have been made regarding the acting abilities of the mostly dance-oriented cast, I thought that everyone involved did an outstanding job. This has to be my favourite movie of the last five years or so.

Summary: Let's Dance!
Review: Center Stage is greater, better than the sum of its parts. It's easy to quibble about the acting being a bit amateurish, or plot elements being inane, or some of the characters being clichés. But that misses the point, which is that Center Stage is perfectly wonderful entertainment of the sort we don't often see on film these days. Young Amanda Schull, who plays Jody, would be a drop-dead gorgeous American beauty even if she couldn't dance a step. But she's a fine ballerina, and in the modern dance number that she performs with her two rival suitors, Cooper and Jonathan, she's so sexy you'll forget all about Flashdance (where I believe a double did the dancing for the star). Zoe Saldana (who plays Eva) is just as beautiful, ten times as saucy, and perhaps even more talented than Schull. She's the only one of the young "actors" who seems totally comfortable and credible in her acting. Her performance of the dance from Swan Lake will bring tears to some eyes. And if you're into guys, step right up: Center Stage has guys! -- and they're just as numerous, handsome, and talented as the girls. Years go by without a chance to see the talent and entertainment value you'll find in Center Stage. Don't miss it!
