The Next Step - Center Stage (2000)

from MOVERS SHAKERS MAKERS · host Makeshift Company

Our first episode of the new mini series, The Next Step, is CENTER STAGE (2000)! Can you believe this dancer classic is celebrating 25 years since its release? With bonus film--DANCERS (1987).We use Center Stage to discuss the delicate balance between dancer and sponsor, camisole tops, unequal power dynamics, the girl behind Degas's 'Little Dancer' sculpture and Ethan Steifel's dancing assets. Chock full of professional NYC dancers (not to mention future Oscar Winner Zoe Saldaña) Center Stage was the millennial go-to film for a soapy story with an all out dance number at the end. So, a quarter of century on, this film definitely has the feet...but does it have the heart?Guests: Amber Hunt, Prof Rose MartinLINKS NYTimes article 2004About Marie van GoethemThe Spinoff articleTiler Peck Center Stage solo Roger Ebert Dancers Review 1987
