Save the Last Dance 2


In this movie, the message is "True to yourself." Sara is a girl who has been learning ballet since when she was a little. She worked really hard and she accepted by Juillard School and she is trying to be a prima ballerina there. Also she loves hip-hop music and its dance. She has a gift for both hip-hop dancing and ballet but they are very different. She needed to decide what she really want to be...
Biggest difference between ballet and hip-hop is the posture. Ballet it more about flying and flowing.
According to this movie, hip-hop is soul, rap, R&B, and funk. For mose people today, hip-hop is about bling-bling. But before the bling-bling, such as the escalades, money, or alcholes, it is a form of cross-cultural communication, lifestyle, a language, and a fashion. Hip-hop is about a individual questioning the establishment, recombining, combining everything that came before, and about finding a new voice. But what hip-hop really is can be summed up in three words, "I am here."
Most of the hip-hop dancers don't even realize that there is a history behind every move. I want more people to know thier history and even I want to know more about them.
