Center Stage

Corrected entry: In Cooper's dance at the end of movie, during the scene when Jody is supposedly walking out of the subway, she puts her bag down when Charlie appears. When you next see the spot where she placed it, the bag has disppeared.

Correction: It is picked up by one of the "pedestrians" walking by in the background.

No, it isn't; the bag is nowhere on the stage.

Corrected entry: In Cooper's workshop at the end of the film, in the second part (the "sidewalk") Jodie's hair is loose around her shoulders, she's wearing minimal makeup and her pointe shoes are light pink. In the next part of the dance, the pause when the curtain is down could only have been a minute or two at best, yet her hair is in elaborate braided cornrows and piled up on her head. She also has dramatic stage makeup on and bright red pointe shoes. The whole transfomation would have taken at least an hour.

Correction: If you've ever been to a ballet, there are miltiple intermissions which would give the dancers enough time to get their hair fixed and change costume. Being a dancer myself, I have learned to change completely in 10 minutes or less. You have at least 5 people working on your hair and makeup at once to help you go faster.

That may be the case, but Jodie doesn't have anything like 10 minutes. This is one continuous performance, and there's no way that an intermission would be placed in the middle of a short ballet.

Continuity mistake: When Charlie, Jody, and Cooper are all practising the Pas De Trois, one shot shows Charlie with a sweaty T-shirt. In the next shot of him his shirt is all nice and clean and so on. (01:04:35)

Trivia: Maureen is said in the movie to be the best dancer at the school. However, you never really see her do anything spectacular. That is because Susan May Pratt is the only non-trained dancer in the movie.
