Save The Last Dance Movie Synopsis

Sara (Stiles) grew up in a suburban, Midwestern neighborhood where almost everyone was white and middle-class. The 17 year-old aspires to become a professional ballerina and studies toward that end.

But when her mother is killed in a car accident, Sara is forced to move in with her father who lives in a rough part of Chicago. There, Sara enrols in a school that is virtually all black. Here she meets Derek (Thomas), a popular, handsome, gifted student who offers her comfort regarding her mother's death. As the two discover their similar interest in dance, romance flourishes.

The couple faces hardship with their interracial relationship when both families oppose the match - especially when Derek's criminal history surfaces.

i thought thia film was great i love movis about dance, so this one really brought to life the cultures and characteristics of hip hop music. i love hip hop, i think the music has it`s own verdict. the music tells a story in itself. great film and great storyline thouroughly enjoyed watching it

Julia Stiles did a great job, but Sean really should her how it was done. I enjoyed the whole movie and it is my second favorite movie. I am looking forward for another movie with Julia and Sean to watch.
