"Ethan Steifel's unforgettable dancing seems to defy the laws of gravity -- and without computerized special effects."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews

"The aim of the film was to be entertaining, the art part it dumbed down for mass consumption."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3.5/4
"An often remarkably exhilarating and surprisingly insightful dance drama, perhaps the most impressionable and well-made in its genre since 1987's
Dirty Dancing
."

"An unbelievably hokey, and, in spite of the terpsichore on display, resolutely lead-footed piece of mawkish melodrama."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Offers insights into the rigors, foibles, physical pain, and competitiveness in the modern world of ballet."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2/4
"With a plot that is constructed entirely out of formula situations and familiar plot elements,

grafted onto
The Cutting Edge
."

TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3/4
"Center Stage proves that it's hard to make a bad dance movie. "
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
1.5/4
"The young cast of unknowns in
Center Stage
can all dance, which is a very good thing indeed because virtually none of them can act."
