Def cringe to watch for the first time now & some of the choreo is unhinged, but MANNN did we love it growing up. V nostalgic as a rewatch!
The original dance story. Was a favourite back in the day
Cute love story while also discussing the importance of racism and the culture that follows along with it.
Quite cringe but was cute for it’s time and iconic dance moves
The dancing is bad, at least on the main lady's part. However, it is a good story.
Embrace the cheesy moments and it can still be enjoyable. SPT really drives it. Had good intentions. Phenomenal soundtrack.
Deals with an important issue in an entertaining way. One of my favorites as a teen.
Good classic dance movie: simple plot with lots of chemistry
Ballet and hip hop. What more could you ask from a dramatic dance movie?
Was the rave to watch when i just entered middleschool

After the death of her mother, Sara moves to the South Side of Chicago to live with her father and gets transferred to a majority-black school. Her life takes a turn for the better when befriends Chenille and her brother Derek, who helps her with her dancing skills.
Sara joins Julliard in New York to fulfill her and her mother's dream of becoming the Prima ballerina of the school. She befriends her roommates, Zoe and Miles, who teach hip-hop classes. She has ballet classes with the rigid and famous Monique Delacroix that she idolizes - Monique requires full commitment, discipline and hard work from her students. When Miles, who is a composer, invites Sara to help him compose the music for the dance choreography Sara's passion for hip-hop is sparked and she also falls in love with Miles. When she is assigned to perform Giselle in an important event, she feels divided between the technique of the ballet and the creative work offered by Miles.
