She quit dancing, moved to Chicago to live with a dad she barely knew, and blamed herself. Watching it now, I don't think this movie was ever really about the dancing. If you just watched Julia Stiles bring Sara back on Dancing with the Stars, with Sean Patrick Thomas surprising her on the floor, this is my rewatch of the movie behind that dance.
