SAVE THE LAST DANCE MOVIE
Save the Last Dance is about a white girl called Sara, who is living in a small town with her mother. She dreams of becoming a ballerina one day. When her mother
is killed suddenly, everything in Sara's life changes.
She has to go and live with her father, whom she hardly knows, who lives in a small apartment in a predominantly black
neighbourhood in a run-down part of Chicago. She has to attend the local high school, where she is one of only a few white
students.
Struggling to cope with the change and the loss of her mother, she feels a lot of guilt, as her mother died in an accident, whilst
en route to watching Sara's dance performance.
Unable to cope with the guilt, Sara stops dancing completely. Slowly, she makes friends with some of the kids at school, and
falls in love with Derek, a popular student who has a love of hip hop dancing. Although he's had a lot of trouble in his life, he
uses dancing to give himself a future and he slowly helps Sara regain her love of dancing.
