- Synopsis
- "Center Stage" follows the hopes and dreams of a tight-knit group of young dance students as they try to make a name for themselves and become stars in the fiercely competetive world of professional dance. Vibrant and supremely gifted, they are students who devote themselves to their art, sacrificing ordinary pleasures of life to train with the rigor of Olympic athletes. While experiencing the normal joys and sorrows, loves and conflicts of youth, they vie for a place in an ulta-selective professional dance company.
Following this group of teenagers who are struggling to join a professional dance company, Center Stage paints a realistic portrait of the lives of these incredibly pressured young adults and how they deal with the stress of their situations and with the problems and romances that blossom amongst them. Schull, an accomplished ballerina, makes a splashing screen debut as Jody, highlighting a relatively unknown cast.-

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The movie uses the materials of melodrama, but is gentle with them; it's oriented more in the real world, and doesn't jack up every conflict and love story into an overwrought crisis."
-
"Comes off as an episode of 'Beverly Hills, 90210' where, instead of spoiled rich kids, the characters are all ballet stars in the making."
-
"The best dance movie since 'Flashdance.'"
-
"Anybody who's ever laced on toe shoes, or wanted to, will find something to take away from Center Stage."
