20 Times "Center Stage" Was Truthful, According To "Ballet 422"

Ballet 422, a documentary about the New York City Ballet, proves that many parts of the beloved film Center Stage were quite accurate.


Center Stage is a 2000 movie about a (fictional) group of teenagers enrolled at the American Ballet Academy in New York City who each dream of being hired into the prestigious American Ballet Company at the end of the year-long course.


Ballet 422, which recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, is a 2014 documentary that chronicles the making of the New York City Ballet's 422nd original piece and focuses on its creator, 25-year-old dancer and choreographer Justin Peck.


There are many — many — similarities between the two films.
