[edit] Plot
The film continues the story of Sara (now being played by Izabella Miko) who goes on to be a student at Juilliard. As she excels to star pupil status, Sara becomes torn between her love for traditional ballet and her passion for the urban street rhythms of hip-hop, complicated further by her new love, hip-hop musician Miles (Columbus Short). Soon torn between the raw honesty of hip-hop dance and the respectable world of ballet, Sara realizes that only she can take hold of her fate and face the future with the confidence to succeed, no matter which path she chooses.
