    The dialogue throughout the movie seemed rehearsed and SOUNDED like it was rehearsed. The dialgue "flow" just wasn't there, it didn't sound natural at times, sometimes almost pushed. DESPITE that, though, the movie was actually pretty good. For anyone who's a fan of dance movi...( read more)es, this is at least worth the watch. It was like Center Stage mixed with Save The Last Dance mixed with Step Up 2. Not bad at all.

    This sounds really good.

    No one's original anymore. Wanna make money? Why promote some up-and-coming writer and take a risk when you can make a soulless, unoriginal, straight-to-DVD sequel that no one will ever see anyway?

    I am desperately after a copy of this movie. Even a burnt copy will do. Willing to swap other movies. If you have this movie, please message me. Any regions okay.
