want in the future. If you like a good quality film filled with romance, humor, and dancing, then this movie is just for you.
   The film begins with Sara Johnson (Julia Stiles) on a train to Chicago to live with her father because of her mother’s death. Viewers learn from flashbacks that Sara wanted to become a professional ballerina but
ended her dream because her mother tragically died. When Sara enters her new school she meets Derek Reynolds (Sean Patrick Thomas), a popular black student. Derek has a passion for hip-hop. With Derek’s help, Sara’s ambition and sorrow are released through a re-energized interest in dance. Their friendship and mutual interest in dancing leads to a loving romance that raises the sad and prejudiced resistance from their family and friends.
   Save The Last Dance’s moralistic values are shown by the characters overcoming racism, illustrating the way it, and how a person’s true colors are shown on the inside and not on the outside. The film soared the top of the American box office ratings in its first weekend after its release. Save The Last Dance is now on video. Go rent it tonight!
