Today’s dance scene that I love comes from 2000’s Center Stage.

Center Stage is one of those films that can be fairly criticized for a lot of reasons but — oh my God, y’all — I used to love this movie so much!  Actually, I still do because every time I watch it, I feel like I’m 15 years old again and I’m just so in love with dancing and performing that I can’t even begin to put it into words.  I think everyone has a film that they irrationally love because it reminds them of a certain time, place, or state-of-mind.  For me, Center Stage is that film.

The scene below is a long one and the video is not the best quality but I still love it because it captures the excitement of both dancing and of being on stage.  Add to that, I’d love to be in that show… (I look good in both black and red.)
