Top Ten Cheesy Dance Movies List

Because my last post sparked not one but TWO comments on how I was watching Center Stage 2: Turn it Up and NO comments on how you could win a Guerilla Suit (ok, Tolly, yours included both but it was weighted MORE toward CSTiU so by the laws of rounding the above statement holds true), I present to you my TOP TEN CHEESY DANCE MOVIES LIST*!

Criteria is strict: must be cheesy. Must include dance. Must, if flipped through while channel-surfing, cause me to stop everything meaningful that I might have been doing or had planned to do in order to watch it, from whatever point it is at. Must make me wish that the Vermonster was as romantic as men in movies (momentarily only). Must make me want to work out, then flop onto couch with pint of ice cream instead.

TOP 10 Cheesy Dance Movies:

1. Center Stage
   Ballerinas! Love interests!
2. Center Stage: Turn it Up (technically there’s no ‘2’ in it … my bad)
   I may or may not like this better than 1. Pretty much I have a girl crush on Kate Parker. And her abs.
3. Step Up
   OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE Channing Tatum. And Jenna Dewan. And that they are now married. Excuse me while I go stream it on netflix.
4. Coyote Ugly
   So good my bartender friends and I tried to recreate it in our on-campus pub, before they actually did recreate Coyote Uglys all around the country.
5. Stomp the Yard
   Badass.
6. Bring it On
   Oh the days when Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku were innocent cheerleaders. Sigh.
7. Bring it On: All or Nothing
   Not to be confused, this is third in a series but I don’t like the second and they aren’t really series, per se, so it doesn’t really matter. I heart Hayden and is this Solange Knowles’ acting debut?
8. Save the Last Dance
   The racial tension, the misunderstandings, the psychology!
9. You Got Served
   Gotta love rappers who make dance-off movies.
10. Honey
    I said cheesy, didn’t I? Has anyone else even seen this?

What say you, interwebs? Did I miss any?

*List is post-1987, so before you get your tutu in a wad, this is cheesy dance movies POST-Dirty Dancing. I don’t argue with Swayze. Or Bacon. Or Jennifer Beals (Flashdance AND Dirty Dancing). Nor do I dare call them cheesy.
