Very enjoyable. Ballet and hip hop, but not fused. However, KW, RBS and ES each danced in both genres, but never in the same venue: hip hop was in the hh club, ballet at the school, plus ballet/jazz in the finale. The first film, Center Stage (2000), 6+, had a better, longer finale, but this had a better story.
Again amazing to see dancers who can act so well. I look forward to the 3rd installment (2016).
Rated 6.2 (5,524)
