When I was almost sure that dance flicks can't go worse, Center Stage: Turn it Up just comes and proves me wrong. Rachele Brooke Smith (the leading actress), as you are very pretty and know how to dance, acting is still a really big mystery to you, a mystery which you'll see, takes time to discover (to be honest, nor time or persuasion will help you, in my honest opinion).
Now, for the review! First of all, it follows the "dance flick manual" word by word: a young girl from a not so wealthy family runs of to pursue her dream (joining the best dance school), but, what do you know, even though she's very good, she's rejected. Damn, I didn't see that coming! What a shock! Sprinkle some cute dancer boy, a job where she obviously has to dance, and some intrigue, regarding another gal that's up to no good, and there you go, the perfect recipe for another "dance flick".
Besides 2-3 dance scenes, this movie is totally worthless, and extremely predictable. If you love dancing, and dance movies, you should really consider something a bit better, because this film is below sea level, and sinking fast.
