		Their friendship and mutual interest in dancing inexorably lead to a passionate romance that raises the sadly typical, bigoted resistance from Sara's white father and Derek's fl friends.
		Widely hailed by critics for being as sophisticated and intelligent as it is viscerally passionate, SAVE THE LAST DANCE enjoyed the top of the American box office in its first weekend in release, playing to sold out shows across the country, a landslide affirmation that Sara and Derek are not as alone as they think.
		SAVE THE LAST DANCE was number one at the box office on it's first weekend, taking in more than $27 million over the three-day Martin Luther King Day weekend.

		But Derek dances to a very different beat, and the film details the developing relationship between ballet girl and breakbeat boy amid the hustle and hustlers of downtown Chicago.
		'Save the Last Dance' resurrects the late-seventies/mid-eighties dance movie genre, with elements from classics such as 'Grease' and 'Dirty Dancing', as well as dashes of 'Fame' and 'Flashdance'.

		In "Save the Last Dance," a bad, friendly, enjoyable movie, Stiles plays Sara, an aspiring ballerina who stops dancing after her mother is killed in a car accident on her way to watch her daughter audition for Juilliard.
		In most ways "Save the Last Dance" is a typical teen-movie drama queen role, but Stiles brings it her distinctive deadpan timing.
		Last year I did a piece for Salon bemoaning the dearth of interracial relationships in movies and television.

	Save the Last Dance Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		Finally, change the catalysts for the ensuing conflicts from homophobia, economic realities, and a stern father's pride to interracial tension and self-blame, and voilà, you have "Save the Last Dance", the latest entry in the 'ballet genre' targeted at the teen demographic.
		At the center of the film is the story of a young woman overcoming all odds and dismissing the naysayers to realize her dreams, on the sheer strength of her determination and talent.
		Meanwhile, a subplot involving Malakai's underworld dealings and the need to save face pose a challenge for Derek, who is put in the precarious position of being forced to choose between his ties to the past and his yearnings for the future.

		She lived a middle class existence and was auditioning for Julliard, but now she lives with her father in Chicago.
		Now she goes to a mostly fl high school, and any thought of dancing brings her pain, since she feels partially responsible for her mother's death.
		Save the Last Dance may have a lot of dancing, but its central theme is one of choice.

	Save the Last Dance
		When his Weyrsecond invites Breena to dance, though, K'ran simply tips a nod to the greenrider, and observes, "Looked good out there." Claret finishes her cold food with a small grimace and slides the plate away from her, watching the dancers with interest, though she doesn't look particularly keen on moving herself.
		Ever seen me dance that is. No ever has," Then she hedges, "Exactly." She dips a shoulder in a shrug then and grins with the next, "I might tell you, if you guess true." "Of course," V'lano murmurs, and withdraws his own hand from Breena's.
		It is a hard thing, generally, to look normal when one's dance partner leaves one on the floor at the end of a song not to turn to another partner, but to flee the festivities wholly; but again, the bronzerider's expression doesn't really change.

	Save the Last Dance (2001): Julia Stiles, Sean Patrick Thomas, Fredro Starr, Bianca Lawson - PopMatters Film Review
		Not only has she given up dancing, but she's now confronted with a student population, where she is -- on screen, anyway -- the only white member (on the phone, Sara's best friend from back home asks if she's seen any murders and promises to pray for her).
		They engage in a bit of brutal competition on the dance floor and the basketball court (the fight here is a bit of a surprise -- and their inability to talk it out afterwards is actually fine, less contrived than if they had).
		It's telling that in the last club scene, under the closing credits, it's the girls who are dancing together, joyous in their shared love of music and movement.

		Save the Last Dance was originally released on DVD in 2001 a few months after its theatrical run.

		Loved the dancing, loved the music, loved the story, and I'm quite certain her grade would be in the A range.
		Save the Last Dance could be considered Dirty Dancing (1987) for the hip-hop generation.
		Hip-hop is already popular, so Save the Last Dance isn't likely to spawn a national dance craze like Dirty Dancing did, but the film will play well with the high school and college crowds, especially those looking to escape the cinematic equivalents of today's prefabricated pop-music offerings.

		Using dance as a path to salvation, Save the Last Dance delivers an on screen chemistry between its two stars that is utterly remarkable.
		Her dream had always been to dance and after a failure to be accepted to Julliard on the same day as the death of her mother she abandons her life's passion.
		In short, Save the Last Dance is watchable, but ducks the issues and never becomes the film it could have been.

		Sara is invited to a dance club and she buys a fake ID from Snookie (Vince Green), who's the club's DJ.
		Save The Last Dance is not as good a movie as Center Stage (CS), for two key reasons.
		Also, the choice was made here to have actors in the film who have stand-ins dance for them rather than dancers who do the best they can at acting.

	Save the Last Dance Review
		But the subjects Dance deals with on the way give us a chance to clear up a couple of old misunderstandings about what Christians believe--especially since a "Christian" friend of Sarah's from her suburban school seems to struggle with them.
		Much of the dancing in this movie (and in hip-hop videos) is specifically designed to appeal to sexual immorality and lust, including two people rubbing up against each other in very sexual ways.
		Save the Last Dance shows why such inter-racial relationships can be really hard, but that doesn't mean they're immoral.

		It's obvious that Stiles's dancing was intercut with that of a professional double, but that illusion hardly matters when the rest of the film's so earnestly positive and genuine.
		The dancing in the latter part of the film is fantastic, to some decent hip hop tracks.
		"Save the Last Dance" tries to squeeze inner city violence, single parenthood and unresolved guilt feelings into a story about a teenage, ex-ballerina who finds a new energy when she's forced to leave the comfortable white suburbs for a life on the grittier Chicago south side.

		Save the Last Dance tackles touchy urban issues such as the need for strong, responsible African-American men in inner-city communities.
		In this film hip-hop dancing becomes the answerâ”itâs seen as a release, a common ground, a thing of beauty in the dingy world of the city.
		The flaw in Save the Last Dance is the fact that it revels in hip-hopâs beauty without acknowledging its error.

		Back in 2001 there was a sleeper hit, Save the Last Dance, now some five years later we have Save the Last Dance 2.
		Her main dance teacher, Monique Delacroix (Jacqueline Bisset) is old school when it comes to demanding each student master the traditional and arduous curriculum.
		She has little to no use for the influence of any other form of dance on ballet so the concept of hip-hop is not only foreign to the staid teacher it is repugnant.

		That said, SAVE THE LAST DANCE rises (or dances) to the occasion with crackling performances by Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas.
		By contemporizing her dance routines, Sara manages to find herself growing as an individual, setting herself apart from the other ballerina-wannabes, and thus our lead becomes a princess in the end.
		With this in mind, Save The Last Dance has done very well in being a feel-good dance movie that caters to the young generation without at the same time alienating anybody else who doesn't necessarily fit into the MTV mold.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Save the Last Dance" review (2001)
		Forced to adjust to a whole new way of life, Sara feels like an outcast in her new school (she's almost the only white kid, and the metal detectors come as a bit of a shock).
		But while "Last Dance" is pathetically contrived and predictable, it does have a certain spark thanks to a glowing, whetted amorous chemistry between Stiles ("State and Main," "Down to You") and Thomas ("Cruel Intentions").
		"Save the Last Dance" does a fairly good job avoiding stereotype pratfalls and there's plenty of evidence that Carter is capable of rising above the material (the cinematography, the nuanced performances).

		She finds a place for herself in a crowd that frequents the local dance clubs; and it's through this dancing she finds herself a boyfriend, a guy named Derek (played by Sean Patrick Thomas) who is planning to become a doctor.
		Sarah's last dance scene actually gave me goose bumps; it was an awesome display of modern dance and hip-hop mixed in with ballet.
		The other characters in "Save The Last Dance", although I didn't like them all, played their parts very well and helped the movie come together as a realistic, gritty high-school drama.

		Aside from a sweetly edited finale dance solo, Stiles doesn't exactly fill the ballet dancer shoes, though she has no problem stepping into a lead role and commanding the production.
		She should have saved the last dance for her father.

		Still Save The Last Dance has enough jump to it to make it of interest on the inter-racial front.
		Sara has failed an audition earlier in the film for a top ballet school and it’s just a matter of waiting to see how effective the "modern" segment of her ballet audition will be in the final scenes.
		In Save The Last Dance relentlessly violent camera pans and cutaways in the modern music video style successfully ruined any choreography and dancing ability that might have existed.

		We admit to detesting most rap/ hip-hop music (it's rap when done by gangstas; hip-hop when it aspires to be actual music) but have never had a problem locking that particular prejudice out when analyzing things like plot and story and performance.
		Save the Last Dance goes to great lengths to show that drive-by shootings and the like are not as commonplace as the media would make 'em seem to be and then tosses one in as a plot device 'cuz the rest of the story is fairly average.

		The movie uses stand-ins so blatantly in the dance scenes that it looks like Stiles is doing none of the dancing at all (even if she is).
		During the course of “Save the Last Dance,” Sara must come to grips with her feelings about her mother’s death, and renew her dream of a dance career.
		The climax of the picture (like the other dance pictures mentioned above) is Sara’s second audition for Julliard, during which she is supposed to wow the judges with her clever incorporation of hip-hop style into her modern dance routine.
