SAVE THE LAST DANCE 2 fashions a made-for-video sequel to the 2001 dance-drama blockbuster. Izabella Miko takes over Julia Stiles's role as aspiring ballerina Sara Johnson, who has left her Chicago ghetto to study dance at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City. The story unfolds as Sara is mentored by her favorite teacher (Jacqueline Bisset), tangles with a jealous rival (Maria Brooks), and falls for a young professor (Columbus Short), ensuring that the sequel is awash with the same brand of passion and drama that made its parent film such a success.
