Summary: Five Stars for Center Stage!
Review: This is an incredible movie that truly portrays the life of a dancer. I highly reccomend this movie for dancers, or anyone who just wants a good laugh, or an incredibly inspiring movie.

Summary: Enjoyable and fun
Review: Even though I feel like the acting is strained and forced at times, I still really enjoy this movie and have watched it multiple times. Of course I have a fascination with the dance world, which I know nothing about personally. The dancing sequences are fun and impressive and there are some glimpses of what it might be like under that pressure physically and emotionally.

Summary: I simply love this movie.
Review: I'm not going to tell you that the acting is Oscar-caliber or that the plot is daring and original. The "actors" are mostly dancers and the plot lines tend toward the stereotypical. I am going to tell you, however, that this movie is simply great fun. Whenever I want to put I smile on my face, I pop in this DVD.The dancing in this movie is spectacular - especially Ethan Stiefel(Cooper)who is amazing. Too often dance movies are made with actors who can't dance so that the "dancing" is shot in a way to disguise the fact that no dancing by the actor is actually occurring. The fact that Cooper, Jody and Charlie are all played by dancers, and in Ethan Stiefel's case one of the best dancers in the world, allows the film to end with a bang up dance sequence that you'll want to watch again and again. Other reviewers have said that the DVD extras aren't worth it, but the extras are worth it just for the extended dance sequences of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Stars and Stripes". And yes, the plots are contrived, but they are engaging. Not every movie has to be edgy or deep or meaningful. It's often quite enough for a movie to make you feel good which this movie does in spades. If you love dance, you won't regret buying this DVD.

Summary: Awesome dance movie - excellent choreography - great dancers
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, especially the ending dance scenes. The mix of pop and pointe was a refreshing change from the typical ballet. Clearly a dancer's movie.

Summary: Doesn't quite make it ...
Review: I am so glad that they are trying to make musicals again, but this one doesn't quite cut the cake. It is great to see Peter Gallagher, who is always great, and all this young talent dancing. But, it comes off a bit as a poor man's FAME, which was a poor man's Mickey and Judy movie.
But, I am always a sucker for the energy and passion of young people performing and the dance stuff is great!

Summary: amazing
Review: When I was little I used to take tap and ballet, but I quit and took up gymnastics. But through gymnastics we had to take dance so it was still a part of my life. I thought this movie was really good, but a bit unbelievable with some of the things they did. For instance the last part of the movie with the dances, some of the scenes couldn't really have happened as they did. Dancers can not change their whole outfit and hair style in that short of a time period. Even though it was not realistic, I thought that part was one of the best parts of the movie. I still really enjoy watching this movie today even though I have seen it many times. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: charming, but chock full of cliches
Review: This is a fun movie to watch, and most people will enjoy it, but don't go into it expecting some cinematic brilliance. It is so full of cliches it is almost unbelieveable, but if you don't mind that, it's a whole lot of fun. I've watched it many times because I am a dancer, and I've known the star of the movie, Amanda Schull since I was five. She's incredibly beautiful (she really does look in real life exactly as she looks in the movie) and she does a great job with the dancing. Ethan Steifel and Sascha Radetsky also are amazing dancers, and the three of them make the movie very enjoyable and fun.

Summary: The truth about professional dancing
Review: I used to do Ballet and Tap for almost ten years, while my expirence wasn't nearly as demanding or professional as portrayed in this film, it had the same "rules." Ballet truely is the hardest sport to learn, its demands on the body are inhumane, but the end result is beautiful. This movie gave outsiders a rare glimpse into the lives of professional dancers. It is so important to have the perfect body and do the steps perfectly that it can be too hard. A lot of the acting felt fake and forced, mainly the ones who were actually professional dancers. This film is great and gives people the real meaning of discpline.

Summary: This movie makes you know what it's like...
Review: This movie makes everyone who doesn't dance what it's like to dance. Some people believe that dancing is a lazy and boring activity. It is actually an exciting and soulful sport with takes tons of heart and dedication. This movie shows that, the passion and drive that people need to make it. The movie inspired me and I know it will to you also.
