Save the Last Dance (9/9) Movie CLIP - The Big Audition (2001) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Sara (Julia Stiles) auditions for Juilliard Dance School.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this romantic drama, two teenagers in love struggle to look past their differences. After the unexpected death of her mother, Sarah Johnson (Julia Stiles) moves to Chicago to live with her father. Knowing no one at her new school and not at home in a gritty, inner-city high school, Sarah has trouble adjusting, but she soon becomes friends with Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas), who has talent and street smarts but a checkered past. Sarah was an avid student of ballet before her mother's death sidelined her studies, while Derek has some serious hip-hop moves, and their mutual love of dance leads their friendship into something deeper. However, since Sarah is white and Derek is black, they have more to contend with than the average high school couple; Sarah gets static from Nikki (Bianca Lawson), Derek's former girlfriend, while Derek has to deal with his friend Malakai (Fredro Starr), who is still deep in the thug life Derek is trying to avoid. Save the Last Dance was directed by Thomas Carter, who previously examined the sociopolitical side of dancing in Swing Kids.

HIT US UP:

[LaurynTamia]

I think we all thought this was great when we were little because this is the kind of performance we put on for our family in the living room

[nicosantana]

Came to the comments just to verify that we all thought this was fire when we were little, and now recognize that it’s the equivalent of only using salt and pepper for seasoning

[mimib___]

That little side hop at 0:46 gets me every. TIME 😂😆

[t.callahan]

Who's here because they just did a bit on SNL with Julia coming out for a cameo and recreating the chair finale?

[colinapata]

Still haunted by why we all thought she skilled this scene

[gatmoony]

"I can't say this on the record yet, Ms. Johnson, but that well-timed finger-pointing just earned you a ticket to Juliard"

[darealistmynizzle]

I don't know why when i was little, i thought she killed this scene 😂

[BethHurt]

It’s the dead eyes that really sealed the audition for me 😂

[crystalrain]

I still give her mad credit for learning that dance routine. Is it the best? Most definitely not, but when I watched this as a child, I wanted to be her, because that dance gave me goosebumps.

[tiahtheunicorn]

As a trained dancer this makes me ✨uncomfy✨

[ninakneena]

This was back when they didn't get dancers to act in dancing movies. That's why this movie was so good..because there was actual acting in it. And for a non-dancer, she's actually pretty good (at her hip-hop parts..she didn't do the ballet ones, there is a huge discrepancy between the two parts in terms of level of skill). This was a great movie and Julia is pretty much awesome :)

[isaacparker]

0:45 my wife's cats when I use an air horn.

[robertyeah]

I thought this movie was a lot better than most people gave it credit for when it came out.

[SMP]

Well she'll have a stable tik toc career with the dancing.

[adesuwaimasuen]

I cant believe as a child I thought she was doing something.... lol

[extracaribbean]

I THOUGHT SIS KILLED IT AS A KID. The little bunny hop she did around 0:48 has me wheezing

[brooklyngurl]

gave me chills the first time i watched it two different dance styles combined to form something perfect like her and Derek's relationship

[maliasherred]

I can't make it through without laughing

[danceballetacro]

I have auditioned for Juliard before and this would definitely be a “The community college is always looking for chorus members… next”

[Seven]

Let's be honest, here...you know what REALLY stole this audition?
Athena Cage's badass song.
