The Age (Australia)

Attractive cast, predictable girl-lives-dream story and lots of great dancing.

Rated: 3/5

Entertaining dance-focused romance has some mature themes.

You feel sorry for the real-life dancers on screen here...

Doesn't have a fraction of its predecessor's pizzazz.

It might be formulaic and predictable, but there's plenty of appeal in this energy-filled film about reaching for your dreams. Set in the world of dance, the story is as much about passion as it is about ballet and hip hop.

Watched it because I liked the first movie, which was loads better. Nice dance sequences, but the lead actress’ acting is cringe.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

This direct to DVD sequel has the typical dance movie formula but the sequences themselves are well done and it's better than its theatrical prequel

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Its not terrible (dance sequences are good to great) but its also not very good (asinine story, unnecessary STEP IT UP copy)

I was a big fan of the original Center Stage so I was a little skeptical before watching this. I figured it would be really cheesy. I was pleasantly surprised. The two lead actors have great chemistry & are both amazing dancers. Kenny Wormald is amazing & he should be more well known! The one part I didn't like was that she was supposed to be a "self-trained' ballerina from watching dvd's at home. Other styles of dance I could see but not ballet. lol. That's kind of a slap in the face to ballerinas who train tirelessly for years to make it look like someone could learn to do it on their own. Very far-fetched. They should have just said she was from a small town with a teacher that's not well known or something.
