What a great hump day! First, Ryan and Rachel rekindle their love and now this: Popwrap is claiming that one of my favorite dance movies of all time will be getting a sequel. They write:
CS: Turn It Up gets a little urban on us this time as Kate Parker, a self-taught prodigy catches Jonathan's eye and makes it into the American Ballet Academy. Sadly things don't go as planned and she's booted from the school — only to meet Tommy, an ex-hockey player and unlikely new ABA student (obviously) who crushes on Kate and gets her a job at a hot NYC nightclub, The Foundry. Well, needless to say, sparks fly and I am sure there is an amazing dance-off to end all cinematic dance-offs.
I totally agree that the dance-off is a guarantee — and I look forward to it. The original Center Stage is hilariously earnest and cheesy, but when dance is involved I have a hard time saying no. Of the original cast only Peter Gallagher and Ethan Stiefel will return. The sequel will premiere on Oxygen in November (don't worry, I'll remind you) and then head straight to DVD (I'll probably remind you then too).
It may not be a masterpiece but it's totally the kind of mindless TV movie sequel I kinda can't resist. I dug up the final dance scene for the original Center Stage, so if you have about ten minutes you'd like to fill with wonderment, just read more.

Plot slightly reminds me of Cutting edge. The hockey part anyway. I loved Center Stage, may watch out for this.
1Center Stage is just one of those cheesy movies that I still love!
2Awww Center Stage!! Like Blue Crush or Thirteen Going on Thirty, it's such a cheesy and delightful guilty pleasure. Yay for girl power movies!
3Cheesy, yes, but oh so delightful!
4EVERY time that center stage is on TV i watch it - i must have seen it a million times. i can't wait to see a sequel - although you have to admit that the plot sounds kind of like cutting edge meets 'save the last dance 2'. i know that i'll watch it.
the thing that always gets me though with these movies is that i used to be a dancer and i haven't taken classes in a few years (that darn getting a job thing got in the way of my dream) so when i see any dance movie like this - i want to get back into classes only to realize that i'm really not that good anymore since it's been a few years. oh well...
5Haha I can still remember watching Center Stage in the movies and liking it.. I think I'd buy the sequel when it comes out on DVD.
6Oooo I loved Center Stage.
7OMG - I am so excited. Seriously a great movie deserves an equally as cheesy/fun sequel. Can't wait!
8Center Stage was pretty cheesy but I secretly loved it. I might watch the sequel.
9I am a sucker for dance movies, especially ballet ones. Cannot tell you how many times I watched "The Turning Point" with Baryshinakov (sp?)when I was little (really not appropriate for a little kid but my mom let me anyways). Secretly loved Center Stage too. The sequel might be the very thing to watch on a rainy Saturday (of course secretly at home, cannot say I would pay to see this in the theatre)
10yesssssss i love dance movies! woohoo!
11ilanac i feel the same way everytime i watch dance movies i want to go find a class to take again!
12This is one of my favorite movies! I took dance lessons last year and watched this every single weekend and listened to the soundtrack before class
13Delightful cheesy fun! My bff and I saw Step Up 2 in the theatre and had a blast. Can't wait for this sequel either!
14Ethan Stiefel is so hot!
15Center Stage is one of my favorite guilty pleasures!
16Love the original Center Stage. Laughable at times, but still love it.
17I loved Center Stage! I thought I was one of few that actually did, but I guess I was wrong after reading these posts. I will def. watch this sequel
18I remember seeing it the movie theater. Good cheesy fun. Now it has me listening to "I Wanna Be With You." Can't wait for the sequel.
19Yay, I secretly loved Center Stage, but I'll definitely miss the pointe shoes/ballet academy element in the sequel!
20YAY! I love this movie!

22Oh me oh my. This is my guilty-pleasure movie. As one of those kids who dreamed of becoming a ballerina, and a HUGE FAN of ballet, this movie's plot doesn't even faze me, I just want to see 'em in action.
I'm so happy there'll be another guilty pleasure sequel...
23:happy: !!!
I Loved Your Movie At The End Of It Because She Turnes So Long That Is Really Good That You Are A Bellet When I Grow Up I Want To Be One So Bad But I Have 2 Chorics I Have Ballet And Gymnastics I Don't Know
