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

C+
"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."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C-
"What Fame would have been if it had been a poorly acted soap opera."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D-
"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, Center Stage feels like a rerun of Flashdance grafted onto The Cutting Edge."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

6/10
"Despite it being ballet-dancing, which I admit to despising personally, I still managed to remain quite interested."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

6/10
"The story is shallow stuff, but pretty entertaining until it becomes utterly preposterous."  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."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina
