Jodi has tryout for the American Ballet Company and does not know what she will do if she doesn't get in. Once there, she finds that she is not a good as other girls and is constantly told that she must do certain things in order to secure a place. Jodi finds out just how hard being a ballet dancer really is as do the other girls. Forced by their parents and friends, the girls struggle to find if they really want the life of a ballet dancer or not. The dancing in the movie is spectacular and inspires people to undertake ballet classes just for a slightness of professionsalism which is displayed in Centre Stage. Although the plot is sometimes obscure, the movies compensates for the variety of dancing styles which is displayed. A good movie and awe-inspiring, a must see for all dancers or would-be dancers.
