I understand what most of you are saying when you say, she's supposed not be classically trained since she's self trained, but to make it that far up with a prestigious ballet, requires at least a little classical training. Idk about you guys but it seems really disrespectful to me that she didn't even try to put her hair in a neat bun.

I feel like a lot of people who have watched this and commented about Kate Parker being bad haven't watched the full movie and don't realize that she is SUPPOSED to be raw and pretty much horrible.

Why are they talking about "perfection'? "Kate Parker" can't even get her feet over the box of her pointe shoes. And her pointes look like they aren't even broken in. Heck, She can't even TIE her ribbons properly.

I so wish i could learn ballet. It seems like such a graceful dance

1:42 *what perfection lmao😂

“That’s perfection. Look at those legs.” I’m sorry which leg are you looking at?

Whose pointes are that shiny? lol...

This would be a great movie if the dancers where good it looks like they've been on Pointe for 1 year and in ballet for like 3 when they look like teens and grown ups and some of them aren't very flexible and is it just me but there is always 1 girl with the last name Armstrong in ballet shows or movies

Why is this girl the lead? Her foot isn't turned out and her legs aren't straight and her attitude is way off. Her pointe shoes are sparkling new and not broken in, and her ribbons are out. Sure, the movie may be good, but it'd be better with a better dancer and people who know what ballet really needs!

this.. "kate parker" has no idea of what ballet is. and i still wonder how they find her ideal fore the role.

It`s the Pas de Deux of the Black Swan in Swan lake

Omfg how hard is it to cast real dancers

@sasXOXO i donnu what its called but it's from Swan Lake when the black swan is on the party or something...

@balletdancer12396 but in the movie she was supposed to be kind of.. poor? so she doesn't have proper ballet attire because she couldn't afford it. and she was also teaching herself ballet AND pointe by watching dvds.. so this movie is a bad influence really haha

At least the audio was still decent for the 2000s. Especially for a ballet movie. If you've ever been to a ballet or been in the room with pointe dancers, you KNOW that the wood in their shoes and the hardwood floor do not make a very pleasant or very quiet sound.

ppl are so dumb. anyone who has met Rachele knows what a great dancer she is. There are a lot of things in the film which are to give viewers insight into the world of 'classical' ballet. They mention her discipline being 'raw' and 'wild' etc.. which is indicative of her role as a dancer without means to gain professional tutorage and for the millionth time, as everyone as said, you'd have to be stupid to not have heard 'her? i'm looking at him'

Rachel Brook Smith is perfection. I suggest watch the movie first before commenting stupidly

argh I can't even watch ....why couldn't they get better dancers

Did anyone know that the real Kata Parker is a real ballet dancer. Buy the vid & watch the doc at the end.

What the piano melody at 1:28

the way she dances was obviously choreographed to look like that and I would like to see any of you do better which I doubt highly

whats the song called at 0:39 ?

ummm Sarah Jayne Jensen is clearly the better dancer in this movie

so all of you mediocre to 'good' classically trained ballerinas out there who want to talk about ribbon and sparkling new shoes, turn out and straight legs, calm down because it's meant to be entertaining not a docu-drama on the do's and don't's of classical dance.

she might not be like perfect but in the movie she never had proper classes how wud she know wat was perfect?

well the movie called for a girl who looked like she was never professionally trained so....its expected that she wont tie her pointe shoes well and what not. and did you notice the connection between the two girls in center stage 1 and this one? they were supposed to be the worst, the ones that never shouldve made it lol think about it. shes not SUPPOSED to be good...although, amanda schull is obviously far better since she used to dance professionally.

ugh

ew ew ew 1:44 sarah jayne jensen is wayyyy better

ew

Cringing so hard at the sickled feet, bad sewing and the fact that she is not over her box.

Sarah jayne is so good, but this "kate parker" girl is sooooooooooooooo fucking bad, i mean i like the movie but they'd have use a bette dancer, huh?

Lolsome Sarah Jaynes good but she's too tight. She doesn't know how to losen up in this film ^^ Well it's her script to be uptight. But anywho. Overall everyones good. They get paid to act and do a good job. What else?

"kate Parker" does not idea what ballet is -.-

i totally agree...she is beyond horrible

SHE IS TERRIBLE....ahhhh thi is an insult to ballet
