I really liked this movie, and I never get tired of watching it a million times. They are making a second part of it, haha however I'm doubting that it would be as good as the first, I just hope it will be, here are some news:

Paramount Home Entertainment's DVD Premiere group, in association with MTV Studios, wrapped principal photography on "Save the Last Dance 2: Stepping Up."

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 2005--Paramount Home Entertainment's DVD Premiere group, in association with MTV Studios, wrapped principal photography on "Save the Last Dance 2: Stepping Up." Starring Izabella Miko ("The Shore," "Bye, Bye Blackbird," "Coyote Ugly"), Columbus Short ("War of the Worlds," "You Got Served") and Jacqueline Bisset ("Domino," "The Physical Education of Girls"), "Save the Last Dance 2: Stepping Up" is one of the first films to be produced by Paramount Home Entertainment's newly created DVD Premiere group along with MTV Studios, a new venture that leverages talent already thriving on-camera and behind-the-camera on all of MTV's networks in music-based, dramatic and comedic films, as well as documentaries. Paramount Pictures and MTV Films' successful 2001 feature film release, "Save the Last Dance," grossed over $91 million at the domestic box office.

"This film has so many of the elements we are looking for with our new DVD Premiere productions," said Ellen Pittleman, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Acquisitions, who leads the PHE DVD Premiere group. "The sequel embraces the strengths of the original film with a compelling story and strong cast while offering more dance in every form ranging from modern to ballet to hip hop."

"We already know that our audience responded passionately to `Save the Last Dance' as a feature film and we're confident that they are hungry for the opportunity to see where the storyline continues," said Jeff Yapp, EVP, MTV Networks Music and Logo Enterprise Group. "Through our extensive audience reach via our channels and various platforms we're looking forward to bringing our audience this project and other exciting new content."

"Save the Last Dance 2: Stepping Up" features an up-and-coming cast including the new Def Jam recording artist, Ne-Yo, whose first CD drops in February along with Aubrey Dollar ("Prime") as Zoe, Ian Brennan ("No Sleep 'til Madison") as Franz, Tracey 'Tre' Armstrong ("Breakin In: The Making of a Hip Hop Dancer") as Candy and Robert Allan ("Queer as Folk") as Paul. The film is directed by David Petrarca ("Joan of Arcadia," "Summerland") and written by Kwame Nyanning, based on characters created by Duane Adler.

"Save the Last Dance 2: Stepping Up," which was shot in Toronto and the surrounding area, is the continuing story of Sara Johnson (Miko), the girl from a Chicago ghetto, who now attends Julliard to pursue her dream of becoming a professional ballerina. At the prestigious arts academy in New York, Sara must prove to herself and others that she is cut out for the competitive world of ballet.

Monique Delacroix (Bisset), Sara's idol and teacher, pushes her to strive for greatness. She becomes almost a mother to Sara, much to the chagrin of Katrina (Maria Brooks, "Swarmed"), Monique's current protege. When Sara meets Miles (Short), a young guest lecturer who has a strong impact on her, she begins to question the path she has chosen.

If the girl that was in part one isn't in it, and not getting nude, then I'm not watching it...

LOL she's (Julia Styles) not in the second one, neither is the guy (Sean Patrick Thomas).
She didn't get nude in the first one though, did she?
