Very nice movie

This is a very beautiful movie, a known story but full of friendship and love moments. Not so good as "Save the Last Dance", that is more on the relationship of a white girl with a nice black guy. This movie tells the passion of a girl on dancing with her best friend, the love relationship with and her boyfriend. Tells the difficulties of a sick person against the will of going through with her life, her passion of DANCING and her objective to succeed with the auditions at Juliard :-) This is a good movie to watch on TV on a cold winter day with your family. The actors are nice and the two girls are giving a good performance. It's maybe not the best film of that genre, but still this is a one to watch !
