Center Stage and its sequel, Center Stage: Turn It Up. To solve its financial problems, the American Ballet Company (ABC), headed by Jonathan Reeves (Peter Gallagher), seeks to expand its repertoire from ballet to add the more popular contemporary dance. Tommy (Kenny Wormald), Charlie (Sascha Radetsky) and Cooper (Ethan Stiefel) start a competitive camp to recruit new dancers for ABC. Bella Parker (Nicole Muñoz), has always been in the shadow of her sister Kate (Rachele Brooke Smith), a famous ballet dancer.

She changes her last name (Miller) to avoid comparisons and to her surprise, she is chosen for the camp. Watch Lost City Raiders Online Lost City Raiders Full Movie Online. Bella has trouble fitting in, and instructor Lorenza (Sarah- Jane Redmond), a ballet snob, is brutally critical of Bella's dancing.

When she is partnered with quiet Damon (Barton Cowperthwite), however, she gains confidence, as the two open up to each other. Rumors surface about one of the dancers, Allegra (Maude Green), and the dancers take sides. Bella strives to remain focused as the day of final audition arrives.

When Allegra loses her partner, Bella generously lends her Damon; but in a surprise twist, Bella joins the two on stage, and all three are accepted to ABC. Production[edit]The film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[5] Principal photography started and finished in November 2. Reception[edit]Variety critic Sonia Saraiya found Center Stage: On Pointe wholly inferior to the original Center Stage, complimenting only the direction of Director X noting ".. Cara Kelly of USA Today agreed that, like Center Stage, On Pointe's strength "is still there: the nicely choreographed and heartfelt dance scenes performed by real dancers."[9]The A. V. Club's Danette Chavez was more mixed in her review, giving the film a C+, and remarking that "Muñoz is a charming lead" but noting that "On Pointe gets too ambitious.." with the film's message.[1.

Keith Uhlich of The Hollywood Reporter was the most negative in his assessment of the film, criticizing all of the dance sequences in the film as "poorly staged and often inexplicably photographed in slow- motion", and surmising that, "By the time the climactic, Rihanna- scored musical number arrives, your attention will have long since waltzed off."[1.
