Centre Stage: Turn It Up [2008]

Dance movies are one of my favourites.  Centre Stage: Turn It Up directed by Steven Jacobson is the sequel to Centre Stage (2000).  Although the story line does not link to the first movie it very much revolves around ballet academy.

Compare to the first movie, I think the sequel has a great plot.  It truly shows you have to work hard to be where you want to be.  A fabulous movie with great music and cool dance moves.

All self-taught dancer Kate Parker has ever wanted to do was perform with the American Academy of Ballet. But when she doesnt make it after auditioning, she learns that it takes more than precision and perfection to succeed in the dance world. With a turn in a cutting-edge hip-hop club and the help of a good-looking former hockey player, she may just find the passion she needs to make her dreams come true. Peter Gallagher (TVs The O.C.) and a cast of hot up-and-coming stars including newcomers Rachele Smith and Kenny Wormald rock to a new beat in this unmissable sensation!
