Save the Last Dance
Added 1/5/2010
Sara, a 17-year-old high-school student, sets her sights on being a professional ballerina, but she has to put her plans on hold when her mother is killed in a car accident and she is forced to move to her father's bleak Chicago neighborhood. Intimidated by inner-city life, she turns to the clubs for refuge, where she meets Derek, a young black man who shares her love for dancing. As their mutual respect evolves, they soon discover that peer pressure is a more formidable obstacle to romance than differences in race or class. This movie is an all time movie. It is the best love story , with teens . I like it very much because it talks about achieving dreams and fighting for once's love.

Flashdance clone with some great dancing!

Good dancer quits dancing. She makes new friends. They encourage her to dance again. She tries out, and...
Sound familiar? This one, Save The Last Dance, involves hip-hop and ballet, and brings some minor racial tension into the mix. People get pulled in different directions, and some make the right choice, while others do not.
If I tried to estimate the amount of dancing in Flashdance versus this movie, I think there was more dancing in Flashdance. It could be that ballet is just less memorable in a movie.
The story is fairly predictable, but enjoyable.

Are you a dancer? Do you have a dream you just don't think you can do anymore? Save the last dance is an emontional ride through sarah Johnson's life, from her living with her mother; to moving to Philadelphia with her fatherwhen her mother passes away. Sarah does not want to dance anymore because of her mothers death, when she meets a boy at school named Derek who pushes her to finish her dream to become a ballet dancer at Julliard. When you watch this movie you will want to finish what you always wanted to do, this movie pulls you in from the very start. You'll understand everything Sarah's going through when her life changes for good.

Nice Movie
Added 7/26/2009
This has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. I waS really happy to be able to get this tape and have it for my own personal collection. I like the story as it shows that love transends all, black or white, the person themselves, and the love that they share is what is most important. Skin color really means nothing.
