Née pour danser

Sara’s mother dies, so she decamps to Chicago’s South Side to live with her dad and winds up at a predominantly Black high school. There she meets Chenille and Derek, who convince her to trade ballet for street moves. The film does a decent job updating Cinderella for the dancefloor.
