Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2001)

Julia Stiles (10 Things I Hate About You, Down To You) plays Sara, who is sent to live with her dad in the not-so-glamorous confines of downtown Chicago, after her mom is killed in a car accident whilst trying to attending one of Sara's dance auditions.
From the very start this film manages to capture your attention with it's brutal honesty of black/white relationships, teenage pregnancies, "life on the street" and the wicked dance routines.
Sean Patrick Thomas (Cruel Intentions) is great to watch as Derek. Even Bianca Lawson appears here, although her role as the bitchy Nikki is nothing like her good-girl Saved By The Bell act.
The film also a killer soundtrack with K-Ci & Jo Jo ("Crazy"), Pink ("You Make Me Sick") and even a wicked take on Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors". Definetely a film to see.
