Time to get your dancing shoes on for the third installment of the Center Stage franchise with the world premiere of Lifetime's original movie, Center Stage: On Pointe, premiering Saturday, June 25 at 8pm ET/PT.

Cast members Golden Globe and SAG winner Peter Gallagher (Law & Order: SVU), Sascha Radetsky (Flesh and Bone) and Ethan Stiefel (Center Stage) all return to reprise their original roles. Center Stage: On Pointe also stars Nicole Munoz (Defiance), Kenny Wormald (Footloose) and marks DANCE MOMS alum Chloe Lukasiak in her film debut.

Jonathan Reeves (Gallagher) is tasked with infusing more contemporary styles and modernism into the American Ballet Academy and enlists his top choreographers Charlie (Radestsky), Cooper (Stiefel) and Tommy (Wormald) to recruit dancers to compete at an intensive camp where the winners will be selected to join the Academy. Bella Parker (Munoz), who has always lived in the shadow of her hugely successful sister Kate, finally gets her chance to step into the limelight as one of the dancers selected for the camp. Lukasiak stars as Gwen, a talented dancer prodigy who competes at the camp.

Center Stage: On Pointe is executive produced by Academy Award and Emmy nominated, and Golden Globe winner Laurence Mark, who also produced the original Center Stage, and is produced by Vicki Sotheran and Greg Malcolm. The movie is directed by Director X (Drake's "Hotline Bling") and written by Nisha Ganatra (Transparent).
