Center Stage (2000)
Ein Gruppe junger und höchst begabter Tänzer, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnte, erhält die Chance ihres Lebens: Sie zählen zu den glücklichen zwölf Auserwählten, die ein Stipendium an der renommierten American Ballet Academy in New York erhalten. Für die hübsche Jody erfüllt sich damit ein Traum; das gilt auch für ihre unkonventionelle Zimmergenossin Eva, die hyperperfekte Maureen, den sehr verliebten Charly, Erik und Sergei. Doch der Weg zu Ruhm und Rampenlicht ist mit Turbulenzen, Strenge und Strafen gepflastert. Und manchmal führen kleine Missverständnisse zu großen Herzensbrüchen. Aber Jody und ihre Freunde lassen sich nicht beirren – sie sind fest entschlossen, ihre Hoffnungen und Träume zu leben.
