A young dancer gives up dancing when her mother dies, and she has to go and live with her divorced father. He lives in a poor area, and she has to attend a mostly-black school, where she is soon romantically involved with her new best friend's brother. However, she still longs to get into Juliard, and he both encourages and helps her train to fulfill that dream. Along the way, they get to deal with some contemporary urban issues, including drugs and racism.
Ian Douglas: Given the title, I was expecting Yet Another Klutz Wins the Dancing Competition, but it turned out very differently. Good examination of racial issues, especially from a black teen point of view. For the rest, it does tend to follow the usual girl-meets-boy formula.
Matthew Janzen (14): This movie really shook the heck out of me...with hot dancing, and with a hint of reality with today's society... this is a MUST SEE!
