The primary appeal of dance movies is the dancing, with some added emphasis on the romance the art expresses. Center Stage wins on these counts, despite its reveling in overly familiar characters and formula plotting. Or maybe this reveling is responsible for what goofy fun this film is. The arduous task of becoming a professional ballet dancer is incarnated by many good-looking teens, all stock dance-film characters affectionately portrayed mostly by newcomers. But center stage holds Jody Sawyer (Amanda Schull), who may never be a great ballerina, but she's certainly one sexy jazz dancer. Then there's the arrogant genius (Ethan Stiefel), the dictatorial impresario (Peter Gallagher), the demanding instructor, the bulimic, the stage mother, etc. As we follow these characters, the message develops that one should let go and do what feels good. Jody may not be ballet material, but she scorches the stage when she's uninhibited. And that's really the fun of this movie, which is never seriously interested in ballet to begin with. One ludicrous scene depicts one of the dancers quitting because she realizes she never wanted to be a dancer to begin with but was pushed into it by her overbearing mother. She stands up to mom in the lobby of the auditorium where she's supposed to be performing, the music of her piece providing a syrupy backdrop to her little drama. When she's finished talking, she walks off to the audience's unwitting applause. The scene is so ham-handed you can't help but laugh at its audacity, if that's what it is. The rest of the film is not so overdone, but it's all fun. --Jim Gay

"Center Stage" is a movie concerning the lives of several ballet students, who want vaunted positions with ballet companies. The acting is good, and the movie is pretty family safe though I'd keep it away from younger kids because of sexual imagery. However, there are some gorgeous dance scenes, and various concepts from what it means to be a dancer to anorexia/bulimia are dealt with. Good movie!

I have loved this movie ever since it first came out, which was quite a few years ago. I loved dance movies, and romantic comedies, so if you do too, get it.

As a ballet dancer I enjoy dance movies, if they accurately describe a dancers life. I love this movie and that is not an exaggeration. It is entertaining and is an interesting look into a dancers world. However, it is not only for dancers. It is also a movie about young love, inner struggles, friendship, and finding ones self. It is a good buy and is worth your time and money!
